Germanischer Lloyd (GL) has approved 3B-the fibreglass company's HiPer-tex W2020 direct roving product, which is used for wind turbine blade applications.

This new certification complements the recent GL approval for SE2020 single-end reinforcements. Both products feature proprietary sizings developed for use with specific resin systems (epoxy), principally for the manufacture of non-crimped fabrics and FRP laminates for applications in, but not exclusively, wind turbine blades.
