PPG Industries: Chip-cut fiber products add new membersExhibition
: 2012 American International Plastics Show
Highlights: Three new CHOPVANTAGE chopped glass fiber materials CHOPVANTAGE HP3270 chopped glass fiber monofilament diameter of 10 μm, widely used in polypropylene modified plastics, can greatly improve its physical properties, and can improve the performance of dry molding materials

。 The end application objects are mainly automobiles and home appliances, commonly found in washing machines and dryers and other products
that require a special white appearance.

CHOPVANTAGE HP3613 chopped glass fiber has a monofilament diameter of 13 m, which is commonly used in reinforced polyamide products, can maintain excellent hydrolysis resistance for a long time in the low temperature environment of the cooling system, and fully meets the relevant requirements
of the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Union for food and drinking water safety.

CHOPVANTAGE HP3730 glass fiber chopped products can improve the dry molding performance of products, while providing superior hydrolysis resistance when paired with thermoplastic polyester resins, in addition to greatly improving the physical performance of biodegradable plastic products, has been widely used in transportation, electrical and electronic equipment, computer cases and internal components and a series of high-end fields

Dow Introduces VORAFORCETM TW Series Epoxy Systems New Products: 2012 European Composites Show
Highlights: DOW VORAFORCETM TW Series Epoxy Systems New
Products
Dow Formulation Systems Business Unit introduces DOW for the compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) composite pressure vessel manufacturing markets NEW PRODUCT
OF VORAFORCETM TW SERIES EPOXY SYSTEM.

The use of the new DOW VORAFORCETM TW system in the production of lightweight and durable composite cylinders helps to improve the impact performance, dynamic fatigue resistance and low temperature resistance of the product
.
At the same time, the system helps extend storage life and improve glass transition temperature and viscosity
.
Composite pressure vessels are also an ideal solution for natural gas-driven vehicles, helping to reduce the weight of the fuel tank and vessel itself, thus contributing to reduced exhaust emissions and higher fuel mileage
.

In addition, when used in conjunction with the DOWTM eCURE tooling technology platform, the system will help manufacturers optimize their processes, reduce turnaround times, reduce energy consumption and reduce waste emissions
