In short, fiberglass is a small and versatile fibrous material, created from the process of stretching and machining fiberglass from glass materials.
What is fiberglass?
Fiberglass is a type of microfiber material produced by stretching and machining glass fibers from the base material glass. The fiberglass production process usually involves melting the glass material at high temperatures, then stretching it into small fibers by passing it through a system of pressure tubes.
Fiberglass is mainly composed of silicates, which are made up of silicon and other oxides such as aluminum, calcium, sodium and potassium. With special physical properties, fiberglass is transparent white and has good mechanical strength, heat resistance and chemical resistance. Is fiberglass fireproof?
Yes, fiberglass has good fire resistance properties. This is because the main component of fiberglass is silicate, a naturally non-flammable substance. When exposed to flame, fiberglass does not burn and does not produce toxic substances.
When fiberglass is used in construction or manufacturing applications, it can provide fire resistance to products. Fiberglass is often used as reinforcement in composite materials, such as fiberglass combined with epoxy or polyester resin, forming products such as wall panels, ceiling panels, water pipes, etc. These products often have good fire resistance and are widely used in industry and construction.
