Key Factors for Choosing Fiberglass Gun Roving
1. **Roving Strength**
- Choose gun roving with high strength and high modulus to ensure the mechanical properties of the final product.
- Review the tensile strength and tensile modulus data provided by the manufacturer.
2. **Wetting Performance**
- High-quality gun roving should have good wetting properties to ensure that the resin can quickly and evenly penetrate the fibers.
- Check the roving’s wetting performance and resin compatibility.
3. **Fiber Diameter**
- The diameter of the fibers affects the surface smoothness and mechanical properties of the final product.
- Select the appropriate fiber diameter for your specific application, generally between 13-24 microns.
4. **Cutting Performance**
- Gun roving should be easy to cut with a chopper gun and produce minimal fuzz and flyaways during cutting.
- Choose roving that cuts well and doesn’t clog equipment.
5. **Compatible Resin Types**
- Select gun roving that is compatible with the resin system you are using (such as polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, or epoxy resin).
- Check the manufacturer’s recommendations and compatibility test results.
6. **Chemical Coating (Sizing)**
- The chemical coating on the roving should be compatible with the resin and enhance the bond between the fibers and the resin.
- Understand the type and performance of the roving’s sizing.
7. **Uniformity**
- The roving should have consistent diameter and weight to ensure even distribution during spraying.
- Review the product’s consistency and quality control measures.
8. **Packaging**
- Gun roving should be easy to handle and use, with packaging suitable for your spraying equipment.
- Consider the spool size and packaging method for convenient storage and use.
Purchasing Recommendations
1. **Choose Reliable Suppliers**
- Select suppliers with a good reputation and positive customer feedback.
- Understand the supplier’s production capacity and quality control system.
2. **Sample Testing**
- Request samples from the supplier before bulk purchasing to verify if the performance meets your needs.
3. **Check Certifications**
- Choose products with relevant quality certifications, such as ISO 9001 and CE certification.
4. **Balance Price and Quality**
- Ensure a balance between price and quality. Avoid compromising product quality for low cost.
5. **Technical Support**
- Choose suppliers that can provide technical support and after-sales service to get timely assistance and solutions during use.
