What is Advantex® glass?
Advantex ® glass is a patented corrosion resistant E-CR glass fiber, developed for several reasons:
> Increased mechanical properties compared to E & E-CR glass> Improved corrosion resistance compared to E-glass> Significant improvement on the environment
ASTM D 578-00
Advantex® glass meets the following glass standards :
ISO 2078
States E-CR is defined by being a 100% boron-free glass composition for improved resistance to corrosion
Recommends using E-CR glass in acid environments. E-glass for general purpose

What are ways that allow the glass fiber to be attacked?
• Poor curing• Diffusion• Osmosis• Applied stress• Embrittlement• Micro-cracking• Swelling• Impact• Environmental cycling• Time

•Advantex® glass offers a useful stress 12 times that of a laminatemade with traditional E-Glass in acid applications.
•Another way of looking at the performance differences is by noting that the traditional E-glass laminate would fail in approximately four days when stressed at the 50 year stress limit for the Advantex® laminate while exposed to a 10% hydrochloric acid•environment.

Advantex® glass Performs in Corrosion Even After 3 Months Exposure
• This microscopic view of glass fibers In the acidic media shows the degradation of the E-glass which occurs by an etching process that involves hydration followed by total dissolution of the E-glass, while Advantex remains unharmed

Material Selection is Key
Using the best suited materials for applications facing corrosive environments is key to long-term success of those applications.
• Glass Reinforcements
– Provides Strength and Modulus– Orientation Maximizes
Directional Properties– Glass Type Optimizes Corrosion
Performance
• Resin
– Locks fibers in place – Determines heat resistance,
flame retardance – Certain types offer higher
corrosion resistance
