Textile chopped strands
Vetrotex textile chopped strands are made from continuous E-Glass filaments treated with textile size (starch/oil-based). The filament strands are chopped in a determined length from 3mm up to 24mm max.
Textile chopped strands are subject to our proven internal process and product specification. It is guaranteed that only E-Glass treated with textile size is used to produce these filaments.
The material must be free from soiled fibers and any foreign matters.

PACKAGING INFORMATION
Textile Chopped Strands are filled into plastic bags, or big bags, and packed either into cardboard boxes, cardboard octabins (unit packaging), placed on wooden pallets or into metal transport boxes (property of Saint-Gobain Vetrotex). The weight per plastic bag or box can be adapted to customer’s requirements. A label is fixed to each cardboard box or plastic bag, showing the following data: Product designation; Chopping length; Net weight; Date of production
