XStrand® S: An Enabling Technology for Pressure Vessels
• Offers excellent impact and
damage resistance when
used as protective layer in
carbon-glass hybrid solutions
• Combine or replace portion of
carbon fiber to provide a
balanced cost and weight
solution.
• Reduce weight and improve
corrosion resistance versus
metal and all solutions.
• Provides opportunity for cost
savings on material, less fiber
and/or less expensive resin
systems
• Possibility to replace carbon
fiber with all S-glass solution.
Type 4 – 190 liter CNG Cylinder:
• XStrand® reinforcement enables up to 40% cost reduction versus Carbon/ Epoxy type 4 solution but with
weight penalty.
• XStrand® cylinder is half the weight of a typical steel tank and up to 20% lighter than equivalent E glass
solution at similar cost (saving in resin and manufacturing time).
