Building Stronger Foundations

Fiberglass tissues provide a lightweight, dimensionally stable carrier or surface layer for roofing membranes, wall coverings, pipe facings, and related building-material converting processes.

01

The Industry Challenge

The tissue must run consistently through coating, impregnation, drying, laminating, and winding while remaining compatible with the selected bitumen, polymer, adhesive, or resin system.

02

Typical Components

  • Roofing and waterproofing membrane carriers
  • Wall-covering substrates
  • Pipe and duct insulation facings
  • Composite surface layers

03

Key Benefits

01

Lightweight roll format for converting

02

Surface uniformity for coating or impregnation

03

Basis weight and width options by grade

04

Binder compatibility reviewed for the process

05

Weathering performance validated in the finished system

06

Fire performance determined by the finished system and test method

04

What to Confirm When Selecting

Fiber performance depends on the finished part and process. Confirm these conditions with our engineers before choosing a grade.

01

Coating, adhesive, bitumen, or resin system

02

Target basis weight, width, and roll construction

03

Line speed, drying, winding, and handling conditions

04

Finished-system weathering or fire test requirements
