GLASS SURFACE CHEMISTRY FOR GLASS FIBER REIN FORCED PLASTICS

Abstract

Owens-Corning's HTS finish on E glass continued to compare favorably to successful coupling agents, such as A-1100. The HTS samples have been on flat plate test in 190 F water for 35 days. In miscellaneous bond life studies, it was found that (1) a 190 F 100% R. H. environment appeared more severe than immersion in 190 F water, (2) synthetic sea water behaved similar to distilled water, and (3) extrapolations of bond life data indicated that room temperature water would require an estimated 45 years to cause complete debonding of A-1100 treated E glass laminates.
