Multi-Ended Rovings (KCR): Built for Chopper Guns
What This Product Is
Multi-Ended Rovings (KCR) are produced from multiple fine fiberglass filament strands bundled together so they separate easily. As the name suggests, they're designed to be fed quickly through chopper guns and cut/sprayed on demand.
Why This Type Suits Chopper Guns
In chopper gun applications, it's critical that roving feeds through the machine quickly and evenly, cutting to the desired length without jamming. The KCR type's multi-end structure keeps this cut-and-spray process consistent — ideal for fast reinforcement over large mold surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can KCR roving be used for hand lamination?+
Its primary design is for machine chopping/spraying, but it can be cut and used by hand — though ready-made mat is usually more practical in that case.
How does KCR differ from standard multi-end roving?+
KCR is specifically optimized for easy separation and chopper gun compatibility; general-purpose multi-end rovings may carry different sizings for other processes, like feeding a weaving loom.
