Single-end roving offerings are applicable for pultrusion and filament winding processes. Direct roving wire, ideal for applications requiring high glass content, is advantageous for similar composites processes, offering high strength.

Woven roving is used in open mold lamination processes where joint lamination is required. This material is often used in conjunction with spray roving thread or fiberglass mats; continuous filament, chopped strand and stitched mats are available through Imate.

The company’s distribution extends to polyester and vinyl ester resins. Polyester resin formulations available include: orthophthalic-based general-purpose resin; isophthalic-based resins with high thermal distortion and corrosion resistance; and dicyclopentadiene-based resins (DCPD) for low shrinkage and improved cosmetic specialty resins for fire resistance, food service or specific corrosion resistance.

Imate’s vinyl ester resin is used extensively in the container and marine industries, as well as for the production of corrosion-resistant tanks, pipes and other components.
