Twintex® is a unique and ready-to-use thermoplastic glass reinforcement, designed for high mechanical properties, such as excellent stiffness/weight ratio and superior impact properties. Twintex® also provides with efficient and environmental friendly process conditions, high freedom of design and is recyclable. Twintex® products are made of commingled E-Glass and thermoplastic filaments. Direct Roving is the base material for the whole Twintex® product line, and can be provided with Polypropylene Matrix (PP) and most recently with co-polyester matrix (co-PBT). Twintex® product range also includes fabrics, plates and long glass fiber concentrate pellets. Glass loadings vary depending on the Twintex® product. Today the co-PBT thermoplastic Matrix is mainly dedicated to the Twintex® Roving R co-PBT with 65 % glass loading in weight.

| TWINTEX® R PP | TWINTEX® R PP is a roving made of commingled E-glass and polypropylene filaments. TWINTEX® R PP is suitable for filament winding, pultrusion, reinforcement of extruded profiles and weaving. Consolidation is done by heating the roving above melting temperature of PP matrix (180°C–230°C / 360°F-450°F) and applying a pressure before cooling step under pressure. |  |
| TWINTEX® T PP | TWINTEX® T PP is a fabric made of TWINTEX® roving (commingled E-glass and polypropylene filaments). Consolidation is done by heating above melting temperature of PP matrix (180°C-230°C / 360°F-450°F) and applying a low pressure (1-30 bars), before cooling step under pressure. | |
| TWINTEX® P PP | TWINTEX® P PP is a consolidated plate based on TWINTEX® fabrics. TWINTEX® P PP is processed by in-mold pressure after heating above melting temperature of PP matrix: 180°C–230°C (360°F- 450°F). | |
| TWINTEX® TP PP | Twintex® Long Glass Fiber Concentrate / PP Pellets (TP PP) are obtained by pultrusion of Twintex® TR PP rovings They are coated with a plastic blend that protects them during transport and that can contain application- specific additives package as per the applications requirements the product has to fulfil. | |
| TWINTEX® R coPBT | TWINTEX® R coPBT is compatible with PVC for reinforcement of extrusion. It’s also suitable for filament winding and pultrusion. Consolidation is done by heating the roving above melting temperature of coPBT matrix (180°C–230°C) and applying a pressure before cooling step under pressure. | |
