chopped strand glass fiber

Can you believe that tiny bits of glass are being produced and put into critical applications like cars, boats, even planes? This was a special material known as chopped strand. It is fundamentally altering how most products will be manufactured in the years to come. Let’s take a look at the basics of chopped strand glass fiber and its role in our lives!

Chopped strand glass fibre is made of very thin slices of glass which are cut into little pieces. The small pieces are then combined with a sticky material known as resin. The blend is molded into various shapes. This results in a durable and tough material ready to be used for various usecases and wear over time.

How Chopped Strand Glass Fiber Works

For example, chopped strand fiberglass has a very good strength-to-weight ratio. That means it is extremely strong and can support a very heavy weight but is also very light. This unique attribute of strength and lightness is an excellent choice when producing goods that require structural integrity while remaining portable, such as an automobile part or marine vessel.

Wind Turbines Wind turbines are tall structures which assist in producing energy from the wind. To create these turbines, the blade material was sourced from chopped strand glass fiber and cross-matched to make them strong enough to withstand harsh weather conditions for many years.
