strand fibreglass

Fibreglass is an interesting material that appears all around us! It is used in various types of products and sectors. Do you ever stop and think: what the hell is fibreglass? Fibreglass is a tough manmade plastic made by weaving together small strands of glass. This process ensures it is extremely durable and useful for a wide variety of applications.

Fibreglass is made through quite an interesting process! It begins with the heating of raw ingredients such as sand and limestone until they liquefy. This molten glass is cooled and shattered into minute shards. On the machine these small glass slithers are woven together to form strands that contribute to the fibreglass fabric.

The benefits of strand fiberglass

The strands are then coated with resin, a sticky substance, as they dry. Once the resin dries, it sets hard and connects the strands to make the fibreglass even stronger and more durable. The fibreglass can then be cut and processed into various items after the resin has been set.

Advances in technology makes the scope parts of the fibreglass industries are opening for construction and design. So one of the most interesting new trends is 3D printing with fibreglass. This technology lets engineers design extreme shapes and structures previously very difficult or even impossible to make with traditional methods.
