Glass Fibre hardness too low
Problem Phenomenon
Glass Fibre product Shore hardness 5-10 degrees lower than target, feels soft
Cause Analysis
Glass Fibre soft nature, hardness low; plasticizer or softener added too much; crystallinity too low
Solution
1) Add rigid filler 5-10wt% to raise hardness; 2) reduce plasticizer dosage; 3) raise cooling rate to increase crystallinity
Key Takeaway
Low hardness is caused by material softness and excessive plasticization; adding filler is key
