MUFFLER FIBRE
Description
Muffler
fibre is loose E Glass continuous strands, manufactured from E Glass continuous strand
rovings. The rovings are converted to muffler fibre through a blowing process to
filamentise the base roving. |
An ideal acoustic insulation
for exhaust boxes
|
Application
Muffler fibre is used for acoustical applications where long strands and good fibre
integrity are of importance, typically for exhaust box fillings where the material is
subjected to pulsating air pressures and vibration.
The acoustical performance of the muffler fibre is a function of the packed density in
the final application.
Packaging
Muffler fibre is supplied in 15 kg non- returnable bags.
Product Characteristics
- Typical filament diameter: 13 microns.
- Fusion temperature of E glass filaments: 760°C.
- Each filament is coated with an organic sizing of approximately 0,6% by mass. The
organic sizing carbonises at 130°C.
- E Glass Muffler fibre contains less than 6 ppm leachable chlorides and can be used with
stainless steel systems.
- Blown muffler fibre has a bulk density of approximately 100 g/litre in an uncompressed
state and can be compressed to a ratio of 3,5 : 1.
Other muffler fill products
Muffler filament: Loose E Glass unblown continuous strands packed into 15 kg
non-returnable bags.
Silentex: Special Advantex glass is blown using a patented blowing process to
produce a product that can perform at a higher temperature.
Storage
Keep muffler fibre in a dry place.
