Quartzel® fiber is a homogeneous, non-porous, continuous, amorphous, ultra-pure silica glass with a SiO2 content ≥ 99.95%. Quartzel® sewing threads are assemblies of 9µm filaments gathered into strands and then processed with twists and plies. Quartzel® sewing threads are offered either dry or coated with PTFE to facilitate its use.
Exellent lubrification of PTFE.
Filament tension RT= 6000 MPa.
CTE= 0.54 10-6 K-1.
Density= 2.2
10% lighter than e-glass.
Good chemical inertness.
