Advantex Glass:Eco-Responsible, Durable and Versatile
Sustainable development meets
the needs o the present without
compromising the ability o uture
generations to meet their own
needs. It ties together concern or
natural eco systems with the social
challenges acing humanity. In a mar-
ketplace that aces challenges such
as the reduction o C02
emissions,
energy use efciencies and long
service lie, it is vital to be able to
innovate. 3B the fbreglass company
has demonstrated this ability repeat-
edly, providing glass fbres or cost
eective lightweight and sustain-
able composites solutions, which
oer superior product perormance,
end-o-lie management and design
exibility. We, at 3B are committed
to developing sustainable innovative
solutions with our clients through thedefnition o high perormance glass
fbre answers or a wide range o
markets and applications.
Everyone at 3B is committed to sustainable development. It drives our spirit o inno-
vation, which translates into the eco-responsibility, durability and versatility o our
products. With sustainable development on everyones mind, one infnite resource is
peoples creativity. Put to good use, it has the ability to fnd better value, longer-term
solutions.

Breakthrough Innovation
Advantex Glass is the result o a break-
through in fbreglass ormulation and
manuacturing technology.
The recognised benchmark in the glass
fbre industry or clean manuacturing,
Advantex Glass contains no added boron
or uorides. This is a perect example o
an eco-responsible solution combiningpollution prevention with high energy.
Meeting the specifcations o E-CR glass
standards (ASTM D578 & ISO 2078),
Advantex Glass is an Electrical & Corrosion
Resistant glass that brings durability to your
composites parts through superior corrosion
resistance to acid, water and alkaline environ-
ment. Compared with traditional E-Glass,
Advantex Glass technology leads to higher
perormance and thereore material costs
savings.
3B oers reliable and versatile reinorce-
ment solutions with Advantex Glass or a
wide range o composite applications and
markets.
Advantex Glass:
The green solution or the blue planet
To produce glass, the minerals have to be
melted at a temperature o around 1650C.
To ease the melting process, traditional
E-Glass ormulation contains added melting
agents such as boron and uorides. Unor-
tunately, the use o such melting agents
is detrimental to the environment as most
o those agents will be present in the gasemissions.
A drastic reduction o these manuacturing
emissions is now possible with Advantex
Glass, thanks to an advanced melting
technology and a patented ormulation that
does not rely on adding boron or uorides.
The graphs in the right compare the
environmental ootprints o 3Bs Advantex
Glass manuacturing acility versus tradi-
tional E-Glass manuacturing acility or an
equivalent production o glass.
3B is a leading European glass fbre produc-
er, and operates two state-o-the-art, eco-
riendly glass fbre manuacturing acilities in
Battice and in Birkeland, with a top priority
to respect the surrounding environment.

in fguresAdvantex Glass or Durability in CompositesThe lie o a composite part is becoming increasingly challenging. This calls or the
development o new composite materials with exceptional and extremely durable
properties.
Looking or higher temperature resistance, higher corrosion resistance or better static
and long term atigue properties? Look at Advantex Glass.
Acid corrosion resistance properties
The chart illustrates the stress corrosion resistance o a pultured
rod made with an iso polyester resin and a glass roving content o
75%. The static load was around 1100 MPa. It can be seen that, in
a 1N chloridric acid environment at room temperature (23C), to
reach a 50-year service, the stress level should not exceed 12.7% o
the static strength. At such stress levels the E-glass rod would only
survive 3.7 days.
Fatigue perormance
The upper chart illustrates atigue perorm-
ance obtained on laminates made with
epoxy resin and unidirectional abrics. It can
be seen that Advantex Glass fbre improves
atigue perormance by hal a decade.
