AGY, a leading producer of high-performance glass fiber reinforcements, launches its new single-end lightweight S2 Glass roving, engineered to deliver exceptional strength, stiffness, and impact resistance for advanced composite applications.

AGY S2 glass fiber single end lightweight roving.

This next-generation roving is designed to meet the needs of demanding aerospace, defense, and high-performance industrial markets, where maximizing structural efficiency and reducing weight are critical.

Optimized for use in unidirectional (UD) prepreg and non-crimped fabric (NCF) manufacturing, this single-end format delivers superior mechanical properties compared to traditional assembled rovings.

It is also 15-20% lower dielectric constant than E Glass and the ability to make strong, thinner structures makes S2 Glass a cost-effective solution for radomes in weight-sensitive applications.

Additionally, S2 Glass allows higher operating temperatures, increased fatigue life, and electrical isolation for high-performance modern electric motor applications.

Supplied on three-inch cores, the standard for industry fiber processing, the new Glass roving is compatible with existing composite production processes. Packages are designed for seamless UD and NCF integration.

“With this advancement, we are opening the possibility for designers to use the world’s strongest glass fiber in many new applications,” stated Patrick Hunter, Executive Vice President, Commercial for AGY.
