The compatibility between the coating system and the E-glass yarn can influence the processing and performance of coated fiberglass mesh.
The glass fiber yarn may already contain a sizing system designed for the knitting or weaving process.
The coating formulation should therefore be evaluated with consideration of:
The coating process may also affect the interaction between the polymer film and the glass fiber surface.
Laboratory evaluations can include coating adhesion, mechanical testing, alkali-aging evaluation and water resistance testing.
Where necessary, formulation adjustments can be made according to the characteristics of the yarn and the production process.
RUI CO provides water-based polymer solutions for fiberglass mesh coating and can support compatibility evaluation between polymer systems and glass fiber substrates.
