Newly introduced and developed coating module, the single fiber applicator, allows coating individual glass fibers with wetting additives.
On this single fiber applicator, the fibers are no longer in bundles on the applicator but individually displayed. This ensures that all individual filaments are better enclosed with wetting additive (sizing).

Main advantages for this Applicator:
