What is fiberglass and why is it widely used in the construction industry?
Fiberglass is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent properties. It is made of pyrophyllite, quartz sand, limestone, dolomite, borosite and borosite as raw materials through high temperature melting, wire drawing, winding, weaving and other processes. The diameter of the monofilament...Read more -
Glass, carbon and aramid fibers: how to choose the right reinforcement
The physical properties of composite materials are dominated by fibers. This means that when resin and fibers are combined, their properties are very similar to those of individual fibers. Test data show that fiber-reinforced materials are the components that carry most of the load. Therefore, fa...Read more -
The main material difference between fiberglass cloth and glass
Fiberglass gingham is an untwisted roving plain weave, which is an important base material for hand-laid fiberglass reinforced plastics. The strength of the gingham fabric is mainly in the warp and weft direction of the fabric. For occasions requiring high warp or weft strength, it can also be wo...Read more -
