The event is also part of the Flexo & Labels Expo, Latin America’s largest flexography, labels, and self-adhesive labels exhibition. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility        

Fiber-Line™ Precision Winding PRODUCT BULLETIN Precision winding is a process in which successive coils of fiber are laid parallel or nearly parallel with each other to hold the maximum amount of fiber in a given volume. Precision wound packages are critical for processing Fiber-Line™ engineered fibers. Our products add important characteristics, such as water-blocking, water repellence, adhesion, color, and wear & UV-resistance to these and many other applications.

These materials utilize long fiber technology and exhibit enhanced shielding effectiveness versus standard short fiber conductive polymers. Furthermore, Surround formulations offer improved performance in the areas of creep and fatigue resistance, dimensional stability, and surface finish when compared to traditional highly-filled, short fiber formulations.
