Our specialty glass strands:
Cem-FIL® AR Glass, and
Thermopreg™ co-mingled glass/
Thermoplastic are used respectively in the reinforcement of cements and mortars and for the manufacture of high performance
Composite parts. Cem-FIL® AR Glass makes construction materials more elastic and solid, prevents cracking and extends building life. Twintex® unique recyclable composition provide composite parts with an extremely good impact resistance and allows "green" technology.
