Classification and application of glass fiber
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. As reinforcing materials, glass fiber has the following characteristics, which make glass fiber use much wider than other kinds of fiber
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.
Very fine fiber made of fused glass with good insulation, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and high mechanical strength. Used as insulating material and as raw material for glass fiber reinforced plastics.
