Description: Film Former for Glass Fiber SizesGeneral Information: COIM has developed a range of polyesters for the treatment of glass fiber. These polyesters come in powder and emulsion form and are collectively known as FILCO®. The products in the FILCO® line serve to size glass fiber, to optimize the mechanical characteristics of the fiber, or to bind the fibers for the production of mat.Typical Physical and Chemical Characteristics: Filco 309 is an epoxy resin in non-ionic water emulsionpure epoxy resinepoxy equivalent ~240narrow particle size distributionhydrolysis and sedimentation stability from pH 2 to 12 min. 48 hgood shelf lifehigh mechanical shear stability of the diluted emulsionCharacteristics of the dried film: cleartacky filmcompatible with unsaturated polyester, epoxy, phenolic matricesquickly soluble in styreneApplications: Filco 309 is suggested as a film former for glass fiber sizes for: filament winding rovingpultrusion rovingwoven rovingInformation provided by P.A.T.
