1. What is glass fiber?

Glass fiber is a reinforced fiber material made of inorganic non-metallic materials. It is often used to reinforce thermosetting and thermoplastic plastics. It is also widely used in construction, electrical, automotive, wind power and industrial equipment. With its light weight, high strength, chemical resistance and processing flexibility, it has become an irreplaceable new material in modern industry.

2. Main uses of glass fiber

Construction and infrastructure

GRC decorative panels, curtain walls, sculpture components

Insulation materials, insulation mat

Roof waterproofing membrane reinforcement layer

Wall reinforcement, floor coating filler

Advantages: light weight and high strength,flexible modeling, can replace some steel and concrete components.

Automobile and transportation industry

Body shell, bumper, engine hood

High-speed rail, subway interior panels

FRP composite panels, molded parts

Advantages: weight reduction and consumption reduction, corrosion resistance, high strength, suitable for lightweight design

Industry and equipment manufacturing

Glass fiber reinforced plastic pipes, cooling towers, corrosion-resistant storage tanks

Pultruded profiles (bridges, stair treads)

Chemical equipment shells, wind turbine blades

Advantages: corrosion resistance, moisture-proof insulation, long life, suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Electronics and electrical engineering

Glass fiber cloth for circuit boards (such as 7628 cloth)

Cable insulation reinforcement layer

Electronic packaging, thermal insulation and flame retardant materials

Advantages: strong electrical insulation, high thermal stability, and low dielectric constant.

Composite materials

FRP panels, wind turbine composites, sports equipment

Resin reinforced fillers (such as glass fiber powder)

Advantages: flexible design, high strength, and good weather resistance.

Home and decoration

Bathtubs, wash basins, decorative panels

Household appliance shell support layer

Lampshades, window frames, table and chair structural parts

3.Summary

As a new functional material, glass fiber has widely replaced traditional metals, wood and plastics in modern industry. Its light weight, high strength, insulation and corrosion resistance, and flexible design make it a huge advantage in the fields of construction, automobiles, electrical, and environmental protection. With the acceleration of green manufacturing and lightweight trends, the application prospects of glass fiber will be broader.
