On September 27, 2011, European 3B Fiberglass announced the launch of the DS2200-10P, a 10μm diameter glass fiber product for high-end polypropylene applications, which it described as a high-performance reinforcement that changed the rules of the game.

3B's business development executives said that as a leader in European thermoplastics reinforcement technology innovation, 3B is keen to provide cost-competitive solutions to meet growing market demand. Fiberglass is undoubtedly the most versatile lightweight reinforcing material for high-end applications such as automobiles. In addition to design flexibility, glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics also have the considerable potential to reduce vehicle weight in the future. Examples of applications in this area include the intake manifold of Volkswagen, the rear seat bracket of BMW and the pedal bracket of Fiat.

3B developed a new 10μm chopped strand type DS2200-10P using the latest polypropylene blend formulation and its previous revolutionary infiltration for the development of enhanced high performance polyolefins. This product further enhances the overall performance limit of polypropylene compounds and expands the range of high-end applications. Proprietary sizing and bonding techniques provide excellent "dry-to-dry" performance, guaranteeing high performance retention after hydrolysis or heat aging.

Small-diameter (low-micron) glass fibers have been widely used in polyamides and polyester resins, but the composite with polypropylene resins is still an innovative move, especially in automotive applications can open up new opportunities, such as car interior structure Parts, under hood components, and engine blocks, transmission seats and other high-load devices.

3B's director of thermoplastic products said that the combination of the company's innovative sizing technology and 10μm glass fiber has increased the tensile strength of the product by 12% over the existing commercial products and improved the impact resistance by 15%, making polypropylene in some Substitutions for metals in high-end applications can successfully compete with other thermoplastics, especially in automobiles. Using conventional molds, polypropylene compounds containing 50% glass fiber can now achieve excellent mechanical properties and have the advantage of low density.

A source of composite materials from Borealis, a user of 3B products, said that reducing costs is a key factor in maintaining competitiveness. Therefore, the use of cheaper polyolefin resins instead of expensive engineering plastics is a major hope for manufacturers. Borealis' composite technology allows polypropylene-based materials to achieve similar, sometimes even better, performance than engineering plastics. 3B's new fiberglass product development program clearly helped Borealis implement its strategy.

3B's new chopped strand variety, the DS2200-10P, will be available worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2011 and will be made of Advantex® glass fiber.

Calcium Chloride, CaCl2,also named Calcium Chloride Anhydrous , Calcium Chloride Dihydrate 74%, Calcium Chloride 77%.  is a common salt. It   behaves as a typical ionic halide, and is solid at room temperature. It has several common  applications such as brine for refrigeration plants, ice and    dust control on roads, and in concrete. It can be produced directly from limestone, but large amounts are also produced as a by-product of the Solvay process. Because of its hygroscopic nature, it must be kept in tightly-sealed containers.
