Resin-Coated Extensible Heat-Set Orthopedic Fiberglass Casting Tapes (6)
It is well-known that fraying of fiberglass knits at cut edges can be prevented by passing the fabric through a heat cycle which sets the yarns giving them new three-dimensional configurations based on their positions in the knit. The orthopedic fiberglass casting tapes and fiberglass fabrics intended to be coated or impregnated with a resin are sometimes put through a heat-setting process for the additional purpose of removing sizing from glass filaments which would otherwise interfere with the proper application of the resin.
