Need Corrosion Resistance - Take Risk Out... Put Advantex® -glass In

Overview

Advantex® -glass offers superior performance in composites facing corrosive environments when compared to E-glass. A proven product, introduced to the market in the late 1990's, Advantex® solution offers the unique attributes of being both a boron-free E-glass, and an E-CR glass reinforcement in accordance with ASTM D578, ISO 20789, and DIN 1259-01.

Glass Fiber Reinforcements provide the strength to any Composite application. As an engineer, end-user, or fabricator selecting Advantex® (E-CR) glass will help ensure you will be specifying, using, or making the highest quality composite applications able to face the harshest corrosive environments. Advantex® reinforcements offer superior corrosion performance in a wide variety of markets and applications that can meet your specific project needs.

The evidence of performance

Advantex® -glass' patented batch formulation and manufacturing process provides our customers a reinforcement they can Count on in the field. Lets take a look at what happens when Advantex® -glass and E-glass are subjected to 4 hours in 5% Hydrochloric acid at 95° C.

E-glass

Advantex® glass

These microscopic pictures show the E-glass starts to lose its strength and slowly dissolve as the corrosive solution attacks the filaments. Advantex® -glass due to its patented formulation has no adverse effects and maintains its strength.

Practical Benefits

Further evidence: whether acidic, salt water, deionized or tap water environment where Advantex® solution offers superior performance

STRESS-RUPTURE TESTING COMPOSITE RODS IN NORMAL ACIDS (HCl - H2SO4)

In acidic environments, Advantex® glass performance is 12 times that of a Laminate made with E-glass

STRESS-RUPTURE TESTING COMPOSITE RODS IN TAP WATER AND DEIONIZED WATER

For improved performance, use Advantex® glass when facing water corrosion
