Tex | Product Features | Resin Compatibility |
Applications |
| 178 | 2400 3460 4800 |
Easy to operate in spraying-up process, easy roll-out, no spring-back in sharp corner, designed for high speed robotic spray-up process | Unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester resin | Bathroom equipment, yacht components |
| 180 | 2400 3460 4800 |
Fast wet out ensuring optimum air release, excellent mechanical and water resistance property of the finished product | Unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and polyurethane resin | Bathtub, FRP boat hull |
Both grades are available in 2400, 3460, and 4800 tex, giving fabricators flexibility to match roving weight to their specific spray-up equipment and part thickness requirements.
Why Fabricators Choose Assembled Roving for Spray-up
Grade 178 is built for easy operation in the spraying-up process, with easy roll-out and no spring-back in sharp corners, which makes it well suited to high speed robotic spray-up equipment used in bathroom equipment and yacht component manufacturing. Grade 180 is formulated for fast wet out with optimum air release, giving the finished laminate excellent mechanical and water resistance properties for applications such as bathtubs and FRP boat hulls.
Because both grades are compatible with unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resin systems, and grade 180 additionally supports polyurethane resin, fabricators can standardize on a single roving family across multiple resin platforms rather than qualifying separate reinforcement products for each resin type.
Sourcing Assembled Roving for Spray-up
Composite manufacturers evaluating Assembled Roving for Spray-up alongside other glass fiber reinforcement products typically confirm tex weight, resin compatibility, and application fit before placing a first order. For robotic spray-up lines, roll-out consistency and spring-back behavior at sharp corners, as offered by grade 178, are often the deciding factors, while manual or semi-automated lines producing bathtubs and boat hulls may prioritize the wet-out and mechanical property advantages of grade 180.
Roving reinforcement for spray-up is manufactured to support consistent glass content and dispersion, which buyers can reference against general industry glass fiber testing standards such as ASTM D578 when comparing technical data sheets across suppliers.
