GLASS MICROFIBER
TECHNICAL DATA
I. Product Designation
The product grade designation system incorporates: Three
glass chemistries (A, B or C-Glass), the fiber size designation (industry standard size
for fiber nominally less than 1 mm) and three proprietary fiberization processes (F, S or
R-technology):
* F-technology (flame attenuation with glass pellets)
* S-technology (flame attenuation with glass rods)
* R-technology (rotary attenuation)
