Fiberglass cloth is an industrial fabric woven from glass fiber yarn. It mainly adopts recycled waste glass as the raw material which is melted at the high temperature of about 1200 . At this temperature, the waste glass turns into molten liquid. After the glass raw material is melted, it is made into very thin glass fiber by the method of fiber drawing. Through spinning, it turns into glass fiber yarn and then is woven into fiberglass cloth by weaving machine. It can be woven into different weave patterns such as plain, twill, satin and leno. The densities of the cloth are different which can meet the different needs of applications. Fiberglass cloth has the advantages of high temperature resistance, lightweight, high tensile strength, anti-corrosion, good electrical insulation, etc.

 

Fiberglass cloth is a composite material for making fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). It is light in weight and very strong and can be combined with chemical resins to make into various kinds of FRP products which are used everywhere in our life. For example, it can be used in aerospace field as structural materials, thermal insulation and fireproof materials for aircraft and spacecraft. Fiberglass cloth can be used in the field of automotive manufacturing for automotive parts, such as body, seats and engine covers. It can be used in ship construction for fabricating hull structure, ship heat insulation and corrosion resistant materials. Fiberglass woven roving is a kind of fabric which is used for making petrochemical pipelines, storage tanks and other chemical equipments.

 

Fiberglass cloth is an excellent insulation material which has a wide range of application in industrial insulation fields. It is soft and flexible, easy to cut, sew and process. The cloth can withstand high temperature from 400 – 550 and is a superior thermal insulation material for making welding blanket, fire blanket, fireproof curtains, fireproof working clothing, fireproof sleeves and many fire protective equipments. Fiberglass mesh fabric is an excellent insulation building material which is widely used in the construction field as an insulation and reinforcement material for walls, roofs, waterproof, anti-crack, building decoration and other purposes. It is an anti-corrosion material which has good corrosion resistance to acid, alkali and other chemical substances and can be used as chemical insulation and lining materials for storage tanks, chemical reactors, petrochemical pipelines and other chemical equipments. Fiberglass cloth has good electrical insulation property and is a fine electrical insulation material to wrap electrical motors, electrical cables and other electrical equipments. It is a covering and packaging material for many other uses.
