JS-EDR14-2000-988A Roving for Thermoplastics is an ideal reinforcement for thermoplastics, coated with a silane-based sizing compatible with multiple resin systems. Composite manufacturers sourcing JS-EDR14-2000-988A benefit from consistent fiber dispersion and a clean working environment during high-volume extrusion processing.
JS-EDR14-2000-988A Product Description
This roving is an ideal reinforcement for thermoplastics and is coated with a silane-based sizing compatible with multiple resin systems, allowing fabricators to use the same roving across different thermoplastic compounding lines without requalifying sizing chemistry for each resin.
JS-EDR14-2000-988A Product Application
It is typically designed for the twin screw extrusion process to manufacture thermoplastic pellets and granulates. Key applications include automotive parts, electrical and electronics components, mechanical tools, chemical corrosion resistance parts, and sports goods.
JS-EDR14-2000-988A Product Features
- Good extrusion shear property and easy fiber dispersion, improving efficiency
- No fiber fly in the air, providing a better working environment
- Easy to handle with few splices, minimizing fiberglass waste and maximizing utility rate
- Uniform linear density, ensuring consistent fiberglass content of the final composite product
- Excellent mechanical properties of parts and a smooth, shiny surface of the composite product with no fiber show
These features make it well suited to compounders running twin screw extrusion lines at scale, where fiber fly and inconsistent dispersion can slow throughput and affect pellet quality.
Sourcing JS-EDR14-2000-988A for Thermoplastic Compounding
Compounders evaluating JS-EDR14-2000-988A alongside other glass fiber reinforcement products typically confirm sizing chemistry compatibility with their base resin, fiber loading targets, and extrusion line configuration before switching suppliers. Because the roving is designed specifically for twin screw extrusion of thermoplastic pellets, compounders serving automotive, electrical and electronics, and sports goods manufacturers can standardize on a single roving across multiple end applications.
Sizing chemistry for glass fiber reinforcement is generally evaluated against industry reference standards such as ASTM D578, which buyers can use as a reference point when comparing technical data sheets from different roving suppliers.
Fiber loading and pellet consistency are two of the most common evaluation points when compounders qualify a new roving for thermoplastic reinforcement. Uniform linear density along the length of the roving supports a stable fiberglass content in the finished pellet, which in turn helps downstream molders maintain consistent mechanical properties across production lots. Compounders switching from a different roving supplier typically run a short trial batch to confirm dispersion behavior and splice frequency before committing to a full production changeover.
