Do You Know Glass Fiber

Glass fiber, you may not be very familiar with, as the name suggests, its main raw material is glass. The glass is made into a flat plate, a glass bottle, etc. Glass can also be made into glass fiber, which can be made into materials in industrial engineering. Everyone of us should have glass fiber. For example, there is a small circuit board in our mobile phone. The main material of this circuit board is glass fiber.

Glass fiber is now widely used

1. 3D printing technology.

2. It produces glass fiber surface felt, etc., and is also used to strengthen asphalt roofing materials.

3. Military, space, bulletproof armor and sports equipment.

4. Development of underground pipelines, storage tanks, etc.

5. It produces glass fiber for electrical insulation, and is also widely used to produce glass fiber for FRP.

6. Aerospace, aviation, environmental protection, transportation, electrical appliances and other fields.

There are also products that can be produced from glass fiber in our daily life, such as wind power generation. The fan blades of wind power generation are about 70 meters in diameter. How much glass fiber does it need? A fan blade needs about 7 tons of fiber.

Let's take you through the characteristics of glass fiber

1. The elongation within the elastic limit is large and the tensile strength is high, so the impact energy is large.

2. It is an inorganic fiber, non combustible, with good chemical resistance.

3. Good processability, can be made into various forms of products, such as strands, bundles, felts, woven fabrics.

4. It is not easy to burn and can be melted into glass beads at high temperature.

5. High elasticity coefficient and good rigidity.

6. Complete the development of surface treatment agent with good adhesion to resin.

Glass fiber as a reinforcing material, these characteristics make the use of glass fiber far more than other types of fibers, and the development speed is far ahead.
