Chopped Strands
Chopped Strands are produced by cutting strand bundles, which are made of 50 to 200 fine ARG fiber filaments, into various length. It is used as reinforcement for Glassfiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC), Calcium Silicate and Slag Gypsum products. It is also used as crack control material for normal concrete and cement mortar. Its high alkali and acid resistance can be applied to glass fiber papers and filters.
