365 S-2 Glass® Roving
High-Strength Solutions for Your Toughest
Reinforcement Challenges
AGY’s S-2 Glass® high-strength bers
are specically designed to meet
your most demanding performance
processing and cost requirements.
AGY’s global network of people and
facilities are ready to help you
develop innovative solutions to your
most difcult reinforcement
challenges.
Product Application
365 S-2 Glass roving is designed to
be used in construction, defense,
corrosion, and recreation applications
such as:
• Boats
• Composite structures
• High performance components
Product Solutions
S-2 Glass bers offer a unique
combination of properties: strength,
impact resistance, stiffness, radar
transparency and temperature and
fatigue resistance. Compared with
other reinforcing materials, S-2 Glass
bers weigh less than conventional
glass ber and deliver better cost
performance than aramid and carbon
bers.

S-2 Glass ber offers signicantly
more strength than conventional glass
ber: 85% more tensile strength in
resin impregnated strands
Consistent high performance for
reliable and durable nished parts
Better ber toughness, modulus of
resilience and impact deformation
than conventional glass ber
Improved impact capabilities to
nished parts and higher
composites durability and
damaged tolerance
Softening point: 1056°C (1932°F)
Annealing point: 816°C (1500°F)
Strain point: 766°C (1410°F)
Greater ber tensile strength and
stability at elevated temperatures
in thermoset and thermoplastic
applications
Enhanced stiffness
Product Description
365 S-2 Glass roving consists of
numerous G-lament (9 micron)
continuous glass strands, gathered
without mechanical twist and treated
with multi-compatible sizing.
Features
Delivers 25% more linear-elastic
stiffness than conventional glass
ber
Excellent tolerance to damage
accumulation
The ability of composite parts to
withstand high levels of tension
and exural fatigue without
catastrophic failure
Resin Compatibility
