You have questions—we have answers…
Q: What is filament winding?
A: A process for fabricating a composite structure in which continuous reinforcements are coated with resin and placed over a rotating form
Q: What is fiberglass?
A: An individual filament made by drawing molten glass
Q: What is carbon fiber?
A: An important reinforcing fiber known for its light weight, strength and stiffness
Q: What is E-glass?
A: "Electrical glass" or the borosilicate glass typically used as glass fibers in filament winding
Q: What is S-glass?
A: Structural glass that is used as a reinforcement when very high tensile strength is required
Q: What is a mandrel?
A: A male mold used in the production of a filament-wound part
Q: What is epoxy resin?
A: The material used to bind together the reinforcement material (matrix)
Q: What is fiber?
A: A single homogeneous strand of material used in composites for high axial strength and modulus.
Q: What are filaments?
A: Individual fibers of indefinite length used in tows, yarn or roving
Q: What is a tow?
A: An untwisted bundle of continuous filaments
Q: What is composite material?
A: A combination of two of more materials (reinforcing elements, fillers and matrix binder) differing in form or composition on a macro-scale
Q: What is the operating temperature of Black Amalgon tubing?
A: 250° F / -50° F
Q: What is Compression Molding?
A: Compression-molded parts offer a strong, lightweight alternative to die-cast, stamped or other formed metal parts due to their superior:
- Corrosion Resistance
- Chemical Resistance
- Heat Resistance
- Fire Retardation
- Weight Profile
- Weather Resistance
- Colorfastness
- Strength
- Microwave Transparency
