SE 8400 LS Electrical Grade Glass Fibre
For the Highest Quality Composite Insulators

SE 8400 LS rovings are made of
Advantex® glass fibres.
Advantex® glass is an electrical grade
boron-free glass that shows significantly
improved corrosion resistance across a
wide range of aggressive environments.
It is defined as an E-CR glass per ASTM
D578 and ISO 2078 standards.
This translates into significant benefits
