Introduction
WHAT IS GLASS
FIBER ?
Glass fiber is a material consisting of numerous extremely fine fibers of glass.
The global glass fiber market is expected to reach $9.4 billion by 2022 with a
growth rate of 4.8%.
HISTORY
The ancient Egyptians was the first civilization that made glass, and turn it
into glass fibers, they used it for decoration; unaware of the potential that lay
within it.
In 1936, owens-corning company patented the glass fiber with only $ 1.
After 1870, john player developed a process for mass production of glass
strands with a steam jet process.
A Glass – soda lime silicate glasses used where the strength, durability and good
electrical resistivity.

CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES
Acids: Hydro Choleric acid and hot phosphoric acid causes harm to the glass
fiber.
Effect of bleaching: Bleaching agent does not cause harm to glass fiber.
Organic solvent: It does not changes with the effect of organic solvent.
glass fiber.
Advantages
Light weigh, Long spans available with a separate structural frame.
High ratio of strength to weight.
Good molding ability.
High melting point.
Easily installed, can be cut, patched, sanded.
Non-corrosive and rot-resistant.
Disadvantages
Transportation
Fiberglass yarns are used in automotive applications for their tensile strength,
temperature resistance and dimensional stability.
Electrical/ Electronics
High dielectrical strength and reletively low dielectrical constant make glass fiber
outstanding for electrical insulator.
Building Construction
Structural day light panel feature, roofing, modular fiber glass house,
translucent fiberglass block is being used in modern construction.
END PRODUCTS
Infrastructure
Fiberglass composites enhance the strength and performance of the existing
highway and under earth infrastructure situated in the harsh environment.
Aerospace/ Defense
Fiberglass have been used in aerospace applications for many years, starting with
the Boeing 707 in the 1950s. It reduce weight aluminum composite by 20%. Now
it is used in submarine and ship.
Medical Products
Fiberglass have numerous advantages for medical and security applications.
Glass fiber is X-ray transparent, strong, stiff and lightweight, which is ideal for
making, covers, support structures and beds for radiology, security equipment
Fiberglass textiles are commonly used as a reinforcement material for molded and
laminated plastics.
Glass fiber have a very bright future for it its unique physical properties. It is
twice as strong as still wire.
