Enhanced Service Life

  • Lighter Poles & Material Savings

    PoleStrand™ enables the production of lighter poles while saving manufacturing materials, with no need for major process adjustments versus standard glass inputs.

  • Excellent Processing

    Smooth run-out from lower drag across contact points produces less fuzz, resulting in smoother parts, less cleanup, and improved machine efficiencies.

  • Fast Wet-out

    Fast uniform strand wet-out leads to higher glass loading and good adhesion, resulting in optimized part production speed, which supports increased productivity and better-quality finished parts.

  • Enhanced Service Life

    Compared to standard E-glass, Advantex® glass helps with enhanced service life in applications facing corrosion.

Applications

PoleStrand™ is designed for use in the manufacture of utility and telecommunication poles using a filament winding process.

Labeling

Each individual package is labeled with information, including product name, Tex/yield, producing plant, and production date.


Storage

Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended to store glass fiber products in a cool, dry area. The glass fiber products must remain in their original packaging material until the point of usage. The product should be stored in the workshop in its original packaging for 48 hours prior to its utilization to allow it to reach the workshop temperature condition and prevent condensation, especially during the cold season. The packaging is not waterproof. Be sure to protect the product from the weather and other sources of water.

It is recommended that the product be used in resin within 18 months for manufacture. Ideal conditions are at a temperature between 8°C and 26°C and a relative humidity 70% or less.

    Regional Availability
