The process of making glass fiber textiles involves several steps. First, raw materials such as silica sand, limestone, and soda ash are melted together in a furnace at extremely high temperatures. This molten glass is then extruded through tiny holes in a device called a spinneret, creating thin strands of glass fiber. These strands are then cooled rapidly to solidify them. Next, the fibers are collected and twisted together to form yarns. These yarns can be woven, knitted, or braided to create different types of textiles. Finally, the textiles are treated with various coatings or finishes to enhance their properties, such as durability, fire resistance, or water repellency.
