Lightweight construction, resource efficiency and shorter cycle times combined with a constant increase in the level of characteristic values – these are just some of the demanding requirements of the 21st century composites industry.

GSO MultiFiber® as a new type of hybrid glass fiber opens up the possibility of cost-effectively and efficiently reinforcing components for a variety of traditional industries.

Description GSO MultiFibre®

Hybrid fibers and fabrics with a specifically adjustable ratio of glass to thermoplastic

Thermoplastics: Polypropylene – PP / Polyethylene terephthalate – PET

Advantages of GSO MultiFibre®

Thermoplastic is already included as a matrix material

Direct processing without the use of additional resin

Environmentally friendly – no solvent emissions

Higher cycle times in the production of semi-finished products and components

Increase in time, cost and personnel efficiency

Advantages over steel reinforcement – lighter and yet more robust

Significant weight reduction → easier handling and resource-saving (fuel-saving)

Higher mechanical load capacity, especially increased bending strength

Very good resistance to environmental influences – No thermal conductivity/expansion

Very good resistance to chemicals – no corrosion

PP Directroving

GSO MultiFibre® PP Direktroving made from E-glass fibers and polypropylene fibers for the production of plastic-reinforced semi-finished products and components. The hybrid fibers have a fineness of 1870tex with a mass ratio of 40 % PP as matrix fiber to 60 % glass as reinforcing fiber. Other matrix/reinforcement ratios on request.
