About Glass Fiber
Glass fiber comprises many extremely fine fibers of glass and is amorphous in nature. Glass fiber can also be used as a reinforcement material in plastic. Silicon dioxide, calcium dioxide, aluminum dioxide, and boron oxide are the key raw materials used in the production of glass fibers.
Glass fiber is used in mats and fabrics as it offers corrosion resistance and thermal and electrical insulation. It is used in construction, aerospace tooling, automotive, electronics, and wind energy industries because of its excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, stiffness, dimensional stability, thermal conductivity, and chemical resistance. Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) is a high-performance building material that is used in the construction industry. Owing to its low weight, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent durability, it is used in the automotive and wind energy industries.
