Owens Corning Introduces New SE 8400 Low Seed Single-End Continuous Roving for High-Voltage Applications
PARIS, France: April 5, 2005 – At the JEC Composites Show, Owens Corning today introduced SE 8400 LS, a new single-end Type 30® roving to meet the demanding electrical requirements for such pultruded FRP applications as medium- and high-voltage transmission and distribution (T&D) long-rod insulators. SE 8400 LS combines the anti-corrosion, electrical, and mechanical benefits of boron free Advantex® E-glass manufactured using state-of-the-art glass melting technology and advanced low-seed filament technologies, ensuring seed levels well below .5 seeds/gram. Minimizing microscopic bubble voids or “seeds” in the glass avoids the formation of hollow filaments, which increase conductance, offering the path of least resistance to the electrical energy, and causing system failure.
