What Is Fiberglass Fabric?

  Glass fiber fabrics including untwisted roving fabrics and twisted yarn fabrics, hereinafter referred to as glass fiber fabrics are twisted yarn fabrics. China's total production of glass fiber fabrics in various disciplines accounted for 29.6% of the total amount of fiber products 6 foreign countries accounted for about 18% of this data comparison does not indicate that the level of production of fiber fabrics in China and the development of application technology is better, but because of the production and application of foreign nonwoven products have been fully developed, so many of the original use of fabrics as reinforcing materials for the application of the field is now using nonwoven products to improve the efficiency of production, and reduce costs. It is because the production and application of non-woven products have been fully developed abroad.

  As an important reinforcing material, fabric is obviously different from yarn. Yarn is only a linear material, can only provide unidirectional reinforcing effect, while the fabric is a sheet material, it can provide bidirectional (or multi-directional) reinforcing effect. Fabric and non-woven material is the same sheet material, but there are still significant differences, non-woven material structure is more loose, fiber arrangement density is small, non-directional, not solid with each other, so the composite material products made of fiber content is low, generally 20% ~ 45%, the strength of the fiber utilization rate is low. And the fabric in the warp and weft yarns arranged closely, fiber density, fiber strictly according to the warp and weft two-way (or multi-way) each parallel arrangement, with the fabric reinforced composite material products with higher fiber content, up to 65%, high strength utilization rate. Therefore, the general strength requirements of higher composite products need to choose glass fiber fabrics as reinforcing materials.

  Glass fiber fabrics are mainly used as industrial technical fabrics, only some civil fabrics with special requirements are woven with glass fiber. Such as flame retardant or non-combustible requirements of the drapery, curtains, wall materials and carpet base cloth. Used as industrial technical fabrics of glass fiber fabric performance requirements than civilian fabrics more stringent. The properties of glass fiber fabrics depend on the type of glass, the fabric structure and the surface chemistry. Fabric configuration of the yarns and each other's connection is collectively referred to as the "fabric structure", which is related to the fabric yarn fiber diameter, structure, warp and weft to the density of the arrangement, fabric organization, weaving parameters, weaving parameters, and surface chemical treatment, etc., the change of each of these factors as well as each other's multi-family combinations can be formed. Many of the structure and performance of the glass fiber fabrics vary greatly to meet the needs of a variety of different uses.
