FIBERGLASS AND FRP

Fiberglass

Fiberglass includes continuous fiberglass, special fiberglass. It is a kind of inorganic non-metallic material with many excellent properties. Its properties are designable through changing the chemical composition of glass.

Fiberglass can be used in very wide field, the main uses are:

Reinforcing Material

The ideal substitute for metals, woods and concrete. Besides of E-glass, C-glass is specially designed as reinforcing material in China, Which cost is lower than E-glass, because it doesn’t contain B2O3. The chemical composition of E-glass and C-glass are compared as below.

  SiO2 Al2O3 CaO MgO R2O B2O3 Fe2O3
E-glass 54±0.5 14.6±0.4 16.6±0.3 4.6±0.3 <0.8 8.8±0.5 <0.5
C-glass 67±0.5 6.2±0.4 9.5±0.3 4.2±0.3 12.0±0.4 <0.4

Construction Material

Due to good tensile strength, light weight and fire-resistance, fiberglass is widely used in construction industry. The main products are Alkali-resistant Mesh Fabric, Self-adhesive Joint Tape, Wall Fabric. AR Fiberglass is specially designed for reinforcing cement.

Electrical Insulation Material:

Only E-glass is suitable for making insulation material. The main products are fabrics, tapes and sleevings.

Sealing and Thermal Insulation Mateirial:

The ideal substitute for Asbestos. High Silica Fiberglass is specially designed as high temperature resistant material.

Filter Material at high temperature.

Fireproof material:

The ideal substitute for Asbestos.



Chopped Strand

Chopped strands are used as reinforcements in thermoplastic and thermoset molding compounds to produce molded parts for electrical, mechanical and chemical resistant applications in transportation, electrical appliances, business machines, farm equipment and electrical utility and construction.
