About Glass Fiber and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites
Composite materials are products made from two distinct physical states, with one being in the fibrous state while the other being in a continuous form distributed in a matrix. Glass fiber reinforced plastic composite (or fiberglass) is a fiber reinforced polymer made of plastic and reinforced by glass fibers, in a continuous stranded fashion. The plastic may be a thermoset plastic (mostly epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester) or a thermoplastic. The glass fibers are made from various categories of glass depending on the end-use. Glass fibers generally have silica or silicate along with some amount of oxides of calcium, magnesium, and sometimes boron. Fiberglass is lightweight and strong. It is not as strong as carbon fiber but is stronger than many metals. Additionally, its raw materials are comparatively cheaper than those of carbon fiber composites.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Glass Fiber and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites market to grow at a CAGR of 7.18 percent over the period 2013-2018.
