Owens Corning Type 30® Single-End Roving

Owens Corning is the pioneer in both multi- and single-end rovings and has been making glass fiber roving products for more than 50 years. Owens Corning developed the OC® Single-End Continuous Roving process and trademarked Type 30 over 30 years ago. Owens Corning manufactures OC Single-End Rovings (Type 30) globally with advanced equipment, innovative surface chemistry and a commitment to process control. The result is a ready supply of products to meet the most exacting performance and cost requirements. Ongoing development work continues to refine the performance of OC Single-End Continuous Rovings with one customer benefi t in mind—increased productivity. Recently, Owens Corning introduced a line of OC Single-End Continuous Rovings that provide enhanced capability with polypropylene for long-fi ber thermoplastics, epoxy resins for fi lament winding and weaving, and phenolic resin for pultrusion.

PRODUCT FAMILY DESCRIPTION
OC Single-End Continuous Rovings are reinforcement products for fi lament winding, long-fi ber thermoplastics, pultrusion, knitting and weaving applications with polyester (UP), vinyl ester (VE), epoxy (EP), phenolic (PN), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA) resin systems. OC Single-End Continuous Rovings are produced by pulling individual fibers directly from the bushing and winding them onto a roving package ready for shipment. The uniform distribution of a proprietary sizing system ensures an excellent resin-to-glass binding through uniform distribution of the binding agent.
