Fibers & Composites
Global sourcing, product consistency and knowledgeable support can dramatically impact efficiency and downstream performance
Michelman surface treatments for glass fiber and other reinforcement materials are selected worldwide to enhance the strength of plastic composites. Solutions that have helped glass fiber manufacturers optimize job efficiency include:
Michem® Emulsion 91735, a high molecular weight polypropylene emulsion for color-critical needs such as chopped strands for white applications
Michem® Emulsion 43040, a cost-effective maleated polypropylene option for pigmented applications such as LFT, and chopped strands when color is less critical
Michem® Lube 723, a high melting point paraffin wax emulsion that protects reinforcement fibers against inter-filament abrasion, as well as contact damage during fabrication and high-speed processing (a durable alternative to polyethylene glycol)
