Chopped strands ER 2011 are made of boroaluminosilcate glass, comprising less than 1% alkalies. It is characterized by good strand integrity. Chopped strands are not stuck together, and their ends are not fuzzy. Chopped strands have the same, repeatable length of fibre sections. The size type put on the filament enables to process it with non-saturated polyester resins as well as phenolic and melamine ones. Chopped strands ER 2011 are for producing polyester moulding compounds of DMC and BMC type. Products made of these compounds can be formed by pressing or injection. Chopped strands ER-2011 can be used to produce articles from phenolic, amino resins and poly-amides as their reinforcement.
The founding of the Krosglass company is closely related to the history of Krosno Glassworks. The establishment of the first glasswork plant dates back to 1923. Successive plants have been constructed since 1950s and further developed into a glassworks’ industrial unit. The last constituent, Glass Fibre Plant, was founded in November 1971. The production of glass fibre in Krosno had started based on TBA Bishop’s license, an English company, the then leading producer of construction glass fibre.
