Single Ended Roving for Woven Applications (WR)
What This Product Is
Single Ended Roving for Woven Applications (WR) is a single-end roving specifically sized for use on weaving looms. It feeds from a single strand and carries a specialized surface treatment so it can run under constant loom tension and friction without breaking.
Why Special Sizing Matters
On a weaving loom, roving faces continuous tension and friction; a standard roving can suffer excessive breakage or fuzzing under these conditions. The WR type's sizing is engineered both to resist loom friction and to optimize the finished weave's compatibility with resin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can WR roving be used outside of weaving?+
Technically possible, but since its sizing is specifically optimized for weaving friction, a roving type designed for the target process (like WR-FWR for winding) is preferable.
How do you prevent roving breakage and fuzzing?+
Choosing roving with the correct sizing, proper storage conditions (humidity control), and correctly set loom tension significantly reduce these issues.
