C.O.I.M. FILCO® 650 Film Former for Glass Fiber Sizes

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 650 is an unsaturated modified polyester polymer in a non ionic water emulsion.Characteristics of the dried film: clearnon tackycompatible with unsaturated polyester and other thermosetslow soluble in styreneApplications: Filco 650 is suggested as a binder for performs and c.s. mat with low solubility in styrene. The use of organic peroxide as a source of free radicals is suggested. Benzoyl peroxide in water dispersion can for example be used at a level of 0.5 - 1.0% on Filco 650. Filco 650 is also suggested as a film former for glass fiber sizes for:roving for smcbmcInformation provided by P.A.T. Products, Inc.
