Wide Application of Glass Fiber Fabric in Composite Materials

Composite material has good features of light, strong, durable (reusable), and environmental protection. These characteristics are also possessed by glass fiber fabric.

Two or more different materials are made into a brand new material through production and processing, which is a composite material. Composite materials usually have all the properties of their original materials. Most of the composite materials in daily life are made up of a binder combined with another kind of fiber or supporting fragments, such as resin and glass fiber.

How to make fiberglass fabric into composite material?

After various types of ores being melted at high temperature, and processed into small glass fiber yarns by the equipment, and one or more glass fiber yarns are mixed to form a yarn. The yarn passes through the loom weaving, as well as a series of treatments, eventually produced fiberglass fabric. The combination of fiberglass fabric and resin makes various shapes of plates. And this plate is a typical composite material.

Due to the low cost of glass fiber fabric, it’s suitable for continuous mass production, as well as the excellent performance of glass fiber, it is widely used in composite materials.

Compared with glass fiber, carbon fiber also has very strong performance, but its manufacturing cost is much higher than glass fiber. So carbon fiber is only used in batches in some cutting-edge industries such as aerospace.

For example, all the electronic products in daily life are composed of composite materials with glass fiber fabric. Circuit boards used in these common electronic products, such as mobile phones, computers, and TVs, are made of glass fiber fabric and epoxy resin.

Modern airplanes, ships, and wind power blades are filled with a large amount of glass fiber as a supporting structure. Those composite materials are environmentally friendly, light, and stronger than traditional materials.

Because of these characteristics, fiberglass fabric has been widely used in composite materials. As a factory specializing in the production and development of fiberglass fabric, our direction is not only to make the existing fiberglass fabric products well, but also for research and development and production of high-quality fiberglass fabric in the future.
