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 High Performance 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 polyester Resin (PET). Twintex® PP product range also includes fabrics, plates and long glass Fiber concentrate pellets. Glass loadings vary depending on the Twintex® product. Today the polyester thermoplastic Matrix is mainly dedicated to the Twintex® Roving R with 70 % glass loading in weight.
| TWINTEX® R PP | TWINTEX® R PP is a roving made of commingled High Performance 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 High Performance 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® TP PP is mainly used to produce injected TP parts requiring structural performances like impact, or mechanical performances in Temperature exposition. | |
| TWINTEX® R PET | Thermoplastic polyester Glass Roving
TWINTEX® R PET is a roving made of co-mingled E-glass 24µm and thermoplastic polyester filaments.
TWINTEX® R PET product is compatible with PVC for reinforcement of extrusion manufacturing process. It’s also suitable for filament winding and pultrusion.
Consolidation is done by heating the roving and applying a pressure before cooling step under pressure.” | |
