Y The others are passed to the spinning machine. Spinning Continuous filament Molten glass is allowed to flow through perforated tips on the base plate of a platinum melter. A stream of glass is drawn away from each tip to form a fibre. The produced fibres are attached to a high speed winding collect. As the 50 or more filaments drawn from orifices, they are brought together into a strand. Staple fire: Physical properties: Tenacity + 15.3 - 19.9 gm/den. Elasticity : Rigid. Elongation at break: 2%.
