Corporate Overview

AGY provides the best quality, highest performance, and broadest range of glass fiber yarns, rovings and chop products to a wide variety of markets and end uses. Although founded as an independent entity in 1998, AGY has a 50+ year history of serving the composites industry.

Globally, AGY has over 600 employees involved in production, sales, distribution and development of our products. Our world headquarters, technology center and manufacturing facility are located in Aiken, SC U.S.A.

We also have commercial and administrative offices in Lyon, France, and a commercial office in Shanghai, China.

Glass Fiber Manufacturing

AGY glass fibers are made from molten glass. The viscous liquid is drawn through tiny holes at the base of the furnace to form hair-like filaments. A protective sizing, applied as the filament cools and hardens, helps prevent abrasion during additional processing and makes the glass compatible with various resin systems.

For yarn products, after sizing is applied, filaments are gathered into strands and wound into intermediate (forming) packages for processing. These strands become the basic components for a variety of textile and roving products.

Textile yarns are produced by twisting and sometimes plying several strands of fiber. Once twisted, the yarns can be further processed by beaming or rewinding onto different packages.

Textile yarns can also be texturized for decorative and industrial applications and coated with a variety of resinous or elastomeric materials. For some processes, the gathered strands are not wound onto packages but are further processed into chopped strands for a variety of applications.

Glass Fiber Nomenclature GeneralGlass fiber yarns are typically identified by either an inch-pound based system (U.S. customary system) or a TEX/metric system (based on the SI*/metric system). This section gives a brief description of glass fiber yarn nomenclature, including comparisons of the two systems (see table on page 4). A more comprehensive description can be found in ASTM D578 – standard specification for glass fiber strands.

AGY’s products use standardized nomenclature designations that include both alphabetical and numerical elements. They identify glass composition, filament type, strand count and yarn construction. These designations match either an inch-pound version or a TEX/metric version. Both systems are industry-recognized identifications.

Roving NomenclatureGlass fiber roving nomenclature is defined by ASTM D578. The nomenclature uses alpha-numeric designations signifying binder, sizing, yield in yards and method of manufacture/construction of a roving. The following is an explanation of the standard alpha-numerical form: XXXX-YY-ZZZZ. • “XXXX” is a number/character combination signifying a binder (sizing). Typically it is a three-digit number with or without a letter designation afterwards. • “YY” is a two-character alpha (letter) designation used internally by AGY to identify the method of manufacture or construction of a roving, for example it may be an assemblage of multiple ends of a G75 yarn to produce a given yield. The letters would change as the method of production changed. Note that each company producing glass fiber rovings use their own letter designations so they would not be comparable for similar products from different manufacturers. Because of this, roving nomenclature is often shortened to indicate only the sizing and the yield as in 449-750, dropping the two-letter middle designator. • “ZZZZ” at the end of the form is the yield in yards/lb for U.S. customary system (or TEX for the SI/metric system), typically rounded to the nearest conventional yield (e.g., AGY’s 449-AA-750 yield rovings are actually 735 yds./lb. nominal). Designations such as 250, 750 and 1250 have been in existence for years, and it has become convention to use them instead of actual nominals. Please refer to the appropriate product technical specification for actual yields of a given product.

Chop NomenclatureGlass fiber chop nomenclature is defined by ASTM D578. The chop nomenclature is modelled after the yarn nomenclature, and has the basic form:

SG37 544 5/32 INCH 2204 LB BULK BAG

WhereS = Glass type, and can be E, S, L etcG = Filament filameter (See Table 1)37 = chop bundle size, in this case it was chopped from a 3700 yd / lb input 544 = Binder system5/32 inch = chop length2204 lb bulk bag = packaging *Le Système International d’ Unités (SI)

TwistThe fifth segment in the nomenclature is the number of basic strands* twisted together intp a single yarn. Following this number is the number of turns per unit length and either the letter “S” or “Z” which indicates the direction of the twist. The S or Z direction of the yarn is determined by the slope of the yarn when it is held in a vertical position. A twist is mechanically applied to yarns because, in addition to helping keep all of the filaments together, it provides the yarn higher abrasion resistance, improved processing and better tensile strength.

U.S. Customary YieldThe approximate length of the fabricated yarn required to make one pound mass can be computed when the yield designation number is multiplied by 100 and divided by the total number of strands. The result of this computation must always be considered approximate. The yards per pound are reduced slightly in the twisting and plying operations, and by the addition of sizes or binders.

*A “basic” strand is one produced from a single bushing.

Z twist: ascending left to right configuration as in

Typical Fiber Properties

28

In the glass fiber textile industry, as with many other industries, there is widely used and commonly understood terminology. This section defines words or terms used in this publication and within the industry.

ABRASIONWearing away by friction. Glass is highly resistant to abrasion by other materials, but can be damaged through contact with itself. A lubricant is used during processing and fabrication to prevent abrasion.

BARE GLASSThe glass as it flows from the bushing in fiber form, before binder or sizing is applied.

BATCH OVENLarge temperature-controlled oven, used to heat-clean rolls of glass fiber fabric.

BEAMA spool on which a number of parallel ends of single or plied yarns are wound, for use in weaving or similar processing operations.

BEAMED YARNSBeamed yarns are pulled in a continuous, parallel manner around a beam.

BEAMINGOperation in which many ends of yarn from a creel are combined on a section beam.

BINDERA material applied in liquid form to fibers, yarn or fabric, to retain structural integrity during further processing. (Also known as sizing.)

BOBBINThe spool onto which yarns are wound. (Also known as package.)

Glossary of Terms

29

BRAID/BRAIDERA narrow tubular or flat fabric produced by intertwining a single set of yarns in a pattern.

BUSHINGA precious metal plate with holes through which molten glass is extruded into filaments.

CABLED YARNYarn that is plied more than once; yarn made by plying two or more previously plied yarns.

CARDINGThe process of untangling and partially straightening fibers by pass-ing them between two closely spaced surfaces which are moving at different speeds, and at least one of which is covered with sharp points, thus converting a tangled mass of fibers to a filmy web.

CHEMICAL SIZEA surface finish applied to the fiber that contains some chemical constituents other than water.

CHOPPED STRANDSStrands that are chopped to various lengths.

COATED YARNSYarns that are run through a coating bath and then dried in an oven.

COLLETA spool on which the gathered strands from the bushing are wound for further processing.

CONTINUOUS FILAMENTA yarn made of filaments that extend substantially throughout the length of the yarn.

CORONIZINGContinuous heat cleaning and weave setting.

Glossary of Terms

30

CREELThat part of a twisting, winding or warping machine that holds pack-ages of strands for further fabrication.

CREELINGThe method used to supply many parallel ends of yarn, uniformly spaced. The creel is a support for yarn packages and tension devices. Creeling is performed for such operations as section beaming and warping, and where uni-directional reinforcement is required; for example, in supplying yarns to scrim masters and other yarn-laying equipment for reinforcing paper tapes.There are two types of creels. One is a simple pin creel, in which the yarn is pulled off as the package is rotated. The weight of the yarn package is usually sufficient for uniform delivery tension. The other type of creel – referred to as the “pirn” or cone-type – pulls over the end of the stationary package, using transfer tails.Tension devices are used to maintain uniform delivery of the yarn. Polished or chrome-plated surfaces minimize filament fracture and build-up of fuzz and dirt.

DENIERA direct numbering system for expressing linear density, equal to the mass in grams per 9,000 meters of yarn, filament, fiber or other textile strand.

DENSITY, FIBERMass per unit volume of the solid matter of which a fiber is com-posed, measured under specified conditions.

DIRECT-SIZED YARNSpecially formulated sizings on textile yarns that allow them to be resin compatible. DISPERSIONThe process of suspending individual fibers (filaments) in an aqueous medium.

ENDA single fiber, strand, roving or yarn being incorporated into a product.

FIBER/FILAMENTAn individual rod of glass, of sufficiently small diameter to be flexible, and of limited length.

FILAMENT YARNA yarn composed of continuous filaments assembled with or without twist.

FILLThe system of yarns running crosswise in a woven fabric (short for filling). (Also known as weft.)

FINISHCoupling agent applied to fabric to improve compatibility with resins or to improve high-temperature lubricity.

FLYFibers which fly out into the atmosphere during carding, drawing, spinning or other textile processes.

FUZZUntangled or broken fiber ends that protrude from the surface of a yarn or fabric.

GLASS BLENDSWhen several different fiber types, i.e. different lengths and diame-ters, are blended in the fiber slurry.
