RESULTS ARE IN LINE WITH MANUFACTURING DATABASES (CONTINUOUS CONTROLS)<br />
PERFORMANCE DATA OBTAINED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE WITH GLASS POLYPRO E-GLASS (<strong>FGI</strong>)<br />
ARE SIMILAR TO TWINTEX® E-GLASS BASED REFERENCE<br />
TWINTEX® H-GLASS BASED SHOWS HIGHER PERFORMANCES (∼+10%)<br />
MAIN CONCLUSION:<br />
<strong>FGI</strong> GLASS POLYPRO PRODUCTS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO TWINTEX® E-GLASS BASED<br />
