Filament Products
Filament products are composites made with filament winding, a process in which continuous glass fiber strands are impregnated with resin and wound spirally onto a rotating mandrel (that is, a rotating die) under controlled tension. These filament-wound products have a uniform fiber distribution, high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent electrical insulation. Filament winding allows for more precise control of fiber and matrix resin specification, which can be tailored to electrical/magnetic and mechanical properties.
What Are Filament Products?
Filament products are composite components manufactured using a filament winding process in which continuous glass fibers are impregnated with resin and wound under controlled tension over a rotating mandrel. This process produces components with uniform fiber distribution, high strength-to-weight ratio, and superior electrical insulation properties.
The filament winding technique allows precise control over fiber orientation and resin content, resulting in products that meet stringent electrical and mechanical requirements.
