Overview
XStrand™ Reinforcement is one of the latest members of Owens Corning's growing family of high-performance reinforcement product platform.
It is a high-performance, cost-effective replacement for material uses in industrial, marine, sports and leisure and other markets. Specific applications include pressure vessels, compressed natural gas (CNG), tension members, and high pressure pipe.
Practical Benefits of XStrand™ Reinforcements
- Up to 30% higher tensile strength and 15% higher modulus for pressure vessels
- Higher temperature and corrosion resistance than E-Glass
- Up to 70% higher impact resistance versus E-Glass
