S-1 HM™ Roving
For Your Demanding Wind Energy
Turbine Blade Applications
AGY, the leading global supplier of high performance glass
fibers, introduces S-1 HM™ high performance roving to meet
the demanding requirements of the wind energy market.
S-1 HM™ High Performance Roving Features & Benefits
• The highest tensile modulus glass fiber available in the world – 90 GPa
• Proprietary glass formulation designed to maximize performance properties
while allowing for high volume, economical manufacture
• S-1 HM™ performance vs. typical E-glass:
• 20% higher tensile modulus – longer blades with no weight
increase, or weight reduction at same length
• 50% higher tensile strength – higher loadings
• 10x higher fatigue – improved reliability and lower total cost of
ownership
• Sizing chemistries for both epoxy or polyester resins
• Direct roving product form tailored for conversion to unidirectional fabrics
and prepregs and multi-axial fabrics
• Boron free – environmentally friendly
