Why are glassy fibers filamentous

Many production workers and managers engaged in the FRP industry talk about glass fiber, and many people are puzzled. Especially on sunny days, bright glass fiber flying wires are flying in the plants exposed to the sun, which makes people more afraid!

In fact, scientific and technological workers all over the world have already done a lot of in-depth research on this. The conclusion is the same. The answer is "no"! Due to the lack of research and reports on such issues in China, many people in the industry, especially grass-roots workers, have many doubts about this, which is also very normal. After all, no one will joke about their health!

First of all, this is because although the appearance, shape, performance and use of asbestos and glass fiber are very similar, they are different in composition and structure. Asbestos fiber is crystalline fiber, while glass fiber is amorphous amorphous amorphous structure. Asbestos fiber can crack into finer fibers along the axial direction, which is very important to human health.

Glass fiber generally refers to the filaments of glass fiber made of salt melt, such as continuous glass fiber with a diameter of 3 ~ 25 μ m. , mainly 6 ~ 15 μ M (6 ~ 13 in China μ m) , glass fiber is not crystal structure, and it is impossible to crack into finer fibers along the axial direction, but most of these fibers are brittle (especially coarse fibers) and are easy to break into shorter fibers under stress.
