What is fiberglass and why is it widely used in the construction industry?

Fiberglass is a material made of inorganic glass fibers, the main component of which is silicate, with high strength, low density and corrosion resistance. Fiberglass is usually made into various shapes and structures, such as fabrics, meshes, sheets, pipes, arch rods, etc. It can be widely used in the construction industry.

What is fiberglass and why is it widely used in the construction industry

The applications of glass fiber in the construction industry mainly include the following aspects:
Building Insulation: Fiberglass insulation is a common building insulation material with excellent thermal insulation properties and good fire resistance, which can be used for exterior wall insulation, roof insulation, floor sound insulation and so on.
Civil Engineering: Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is widely used in civil engineering, such as reinforcement and repair of building structures such as bridges, tunnels and subway stations.
Piping system: FRP pipes are widely used in sewage treatment, water supply and drainage, chemical transportation, oil field extraction, etc. They are characterized by corrosion resistance, high strength and light weight.
Protective facilities: FRP materials are corrosion-resistant, abrasion-resistant and waterproof, and are widely used in protective facilities of buildings, such as chemical plant storage tanks, oil tanks, sewage treatment ponds, etc.
In short, fiberglass is getting more and more attention and application in the construction industry because of its excellent performance and wide application fields.
