Taming Vibrations
Our 3401 Glass Fiber Compound absorbs energy and helps prevent bonds in high vibration areas from cracking the gel coat.
Less Cracking, More Good Vibrations
3401’s unique, high fibrous formula means it remains strong in high stress environments
ARJAY formulates its Glass Fiber Compound with premium polyester resins and high tenacity glass fibers of different lengths for extreme entanglement and reinforcement. The reinforcing fillers used in addition to the Glass Fibers contribute to the compounds ability to remain strong and intact in high stress and exceptionally high vibration environments.
Performance Benefits
- Semi-flexible for excellent crack resistance
- Chopped 1/2″ & 1/4″ fibers for increased strength
- Superior strength to weight ratio
- Low styrene content
