Raw Materials and Their Applications: Glass fiber has higher temperature resistance than organic fibers, is non-flammable, corrosion-resistant, and offers good thermal and acoustic insulation. It also boasts high tensile strength and excellent electrical insulation properties. However, it is brittle and has poor wear resistance. Used in the production of reinforced plastics or rubber, glass fiber as a reinforcing material possesses the following characteristics, which make its usage far more widespread and rapidly developing than other types of fibers. The following lists its properties:

High tensile strength, low elongation (3%).

(2) High elasticity coefficient and excellent rigidity.

(3) High elongation within the elastic limit and high tensile strength, hence capable of absorbing significant impact energy.

(4) Inorganic fiber, non-flammable, and has excellent chemical resistance.

(5) Low water absorption.

(6) Excellent dimensional stability and heat resistance.

(7) Excellent for processing, capable of being shaped into products such as strands, bundles, felts, and woven fabrics.

(8) Transparent and light-transmitting.

(9) Good adhesion to resins.

(10) Affordable pricing.

(11) Flame-retardant, capable of melting into glass-like beads under high temperatures.
