Glass fiber cloth and glass fiber?

Glass fiber cloth and glass fiber?

Answer:

As reinforcing materials, glass fibers have the following characteristics, which make fiberglass far more widely used than other kinds of fibers and develop far ahead of their characteristics:(1) high tensile strength and small elongation (3%).(2) high elasticity and good rigidity.(3) the elongation within the elastic limit is large and the tensile strength is high, so the impact energy is large.(4) for inorganic fiber, with non flammable, chemical resistance.(5) water absorption is small.(6) the scale stability and heat resistance are excellent.(7) good processability, can be used as stock, bundle, felt, weaving and other forms of products.(8) transparent and permeable to light(9) the development of surface treatment agents with good resin properties.(10) the price is cheap.
Characteristics of glass fibers:The general concept of glass is hard and brittle objects, not suitable as structural material, but as the thread, the strength is greatly increased and is flexible, with resin to give it shape can finally become excellent timber structure. Glass fibers increase in strength as their diameter decreases.
Glass fiber is a kind of inorganic nonmetallic material with excellent properties. English name is: glass, fiber or fiberglass. Composition of silica, alumina, calcium oxide, boron oxide, sodium oxide, Magnesium Oxide etc.. It is prepared by high temperature melting, wire drawing, winding and weaving process with glass balls or waste glass as. All kinds of products formed finally, glass fiber monofilament diameter from a few microns to twenty micron, the equivalent of a hair 1/20-1/5, each bundle of fibers are hundreds or even thousands of root root filaments, usually as a reinforcing material of complex materials, electrical insulating materials and insulation materials, circuit board, etc. and widely used in various fields of the national economy
