Product catalog summary
Overview
AGY's S-2 Glass® Yarn is a high-strength fiber designed for demanding reinforcement applications in sectors such as transportation, construction, and recreation. It offers a unique combination of properties including strength, impact resistance, stiffness, radar transparency, and temperature and fatigue resistance.

Product Applications
The yarn is suitable for use in aircraft cargo liners, high-temperature insulation and filtration, and surfboards.

Product Solutions
S-2 Glass fibers are lighter than conventional glass fibers and offer better cost performance compared to aramid and carbon fibers. They meet MIL-Y-114OH specifications.

Product Description
The yarn consists of numerous filaments twisted together, with a starch-oil sizing that is typically removed after processing. The fabric is then treated with a resin-compatible finish.

Resin Compatibility and Processes
The yarn is starch-oil sized for weaving and processing, and can be used in weaving, braiding, and plying.

Features and Benefits
  • 85% more tensile strength than conventional glass fiber.
  • Improved impact capabilities and durability.
  • High temperature stability with a softening point of 1056°C.
  • 25% more linear-elastic stiffness than conventional glass fiber.
  • Excellent damage tolerance and radar transparency.
  • Fire resistance and consistent appearance.

Packaging
Details include package dimensions, weight, and pallet configurations.

Available Products
Various yarn types are available with different nominal twists, diameters, and yields.

Glass Composition
Reference standards include ASTM C 162-98, ISO 2078, and MIL-S-13949H.

PRODUCT INFORMATION 636 S-2 Glass® Yarn High-Strength Solutions for Your Toughest Reinforcement Challenges AGY’s S-2 Glass® high-strength fibers are specifically designed to meet your most demanding performance processing and cost requirements. AGY’s global network of people and facilities are ready to help you develop innovative solutions to your most difficult reinforcement challenges. Product Application 636 S-2 Glass yarn is designed to be used in transportation, construction and recreation applications such as: • Aircraft cargo liners • High temperature insulation • High temperature filtration • Surfboards Aircraft Cargo Liner Product Solutions S-2 Glass fibers offer a unique combination of properties: strength, impact resistance, stiffness, radar transparency and temperature and fatigue resistance. Compared with other reinforcing materials, S-2 Glass fibers weigh less than conventional glass fiber and deliver better cost performance than aramid and carbon fibers. In addition, these yarns meet the requirements of MIL-Y-114OH specifications. Product Description 636 S-2 Glass direct sized yarns consist of numerous filaments of varying diamters, twisted to form yarns. The material’s starch-oil sizing, which protects the glass filaments from abrasion during processing, is typically removed after processing and the fabric is treated with a resin compatible finish. S-2 Glass Fiber Yarn S-2 Glass fiber offers significantly more strength than conventional glass fiber: 85% more tensile strength in resin impregnated strands Consistent high performance for reliable and durable finished parts Better fiber toughness, modulus of resilience and impact deformation than conventional glass fiber Improved impact capabilities to finished parts and higher composites durability and damaged tolerance Softening point: 1056°C (1932°F) Annealing point: 816°C (1500°F) Strain point: 766°C (1410°F) Greater fiber tensile strength and stability at elevated temperatures in thermoset and thermoplastic applications Enhanced stiffness Delivers 25% more linear-elastic stiffness than conventional glass fiber Excellent tolerance to damage accumulation The ability of composite parts to withstand high levels of tension and flexural fatigue without catastrophic failure Resin Compatibility • Starch-oil sized for weaving and processing S-2 Glass fibers deliver 20% reduction Radar transparency in dielectric constant over E-Glass fibers Long shelf life, good machinability and excellent durability Consistent performance and reliability Processes • Weaving • Braiding • Plying S-2 Glass fiber is an organic material Fire resistant
