Fiberglass Cloth

Fiberglass Fabric Specification

Fiberglass cloth is a material formed from liquid glass fibers that are deliberately pulled to become strong thin fibers. This is also the reason why fiberglass is known as glass fiber reinforced plastic. Usually glass fibers are flattened into sheets, arranged randomly, or woven into cloth. Based on the use of fiberglass, fiberglass can be made from various types of glass as a base material.

The nature of fiberglass which is strong, lightweight, and not easily brittle is enough to explain why fiberglass cloth is widely used for various needs such as bathtubs, roofs, to ships and airplanes. After knowing what fiberglass is, now we move on to the types and forms of fiberglass.
