E8 was introduced
The company reports introduction of E8 high-modulus glass fiber for high-end composites and larger wind-turbine blades. Management claims higher modulus and better fatigue performance than E6 and E7 while retaining electrical insulation. It also describes progress in pipe yarn and highly wettable LFT yarn, and successful development of electronic-fabric treatment agents and electronic-yarn sizing. Product introductions and process-chemical development are distinct; the passage does not quantify E8 sales or supply a complete numerical specification.
