PPG wins GL certification for high-modulus glass composition fibers

By Nic Sharpley | March 27, 2013

HYBON 2002 XM and HYBON 2026 XM fiber glass roving products have been GL certified.

HYBON 2002 XM and HYBON 2026 XM fiber glass roving products have been GL certified.

PPG Industries’ fiber glass business has received certification from Germanischer Lloyd (GL), a leading international certification body in the wind energy industry, of HYBON 2002 XM and HYBON 2026 XM fiber glass roving products. Approved as exceeding the requirements for R-Glass fiber, each of these direct roving products is manufactured with INNOFIBER XM specialty glass composition fibers by PPG.

“Our INNOFIBER specialty glass composition fiber – specifically our XM high-modulus composition – offers mechanical properties beyond those of traditional E-Glass,” says Cheryl Richards, PPG global market development manager for energy and infrastructure markets. “The proprietary sizing chemistry we apply to the high-modulus HYBON XM rovings lets our customers make higher-performance composites, such as longer wind turbine blades – an emergent trend in the wind energy market. In addition, lighter-weight automotive, and aerospace applications are possible with the exceptional mechanical properties of these high-modulus rovings.
