The Past And Present Of Glass Fiber

Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. It is made of natural inorganic non-metallic ore such as pyrophyllite, quartz sand, limestone, etc., and is processed according to a certain formula by high temperature melting, drawing and winding. Made of light quality, high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, heat insulation, sound absorption, electrical insulation and other excellent performance. It is the base material for FRP/composite products. So, when did the glass fiber develop and how did it develop? As a Professional Fiberglass Products Manufacturer, let us introduce it to you.

Glass fiber was born in 1938 and was invented by Americans. During the Second World War, it was used earlier in the military, tank components, aircraft cabins, weapon shells, and even body armor. Later, glass fiber was applied to the civilian sector and was widely used in both construction and composite materials. After more than 70 years of development, the foreign glass fiber industry has developed to more than 3,000 glass fiber varieties and more than 50,000 specifications. Each type of product has a corresponding use, and the varieties and specifications are still growing at an average annual rate of 1000-1500. Rapid development.

China's glass fiber industry started in 1958. Before the reform and opening up, it mainly served the national defense industry. It basically relied on self-reliance and development in a closed environment. After reform and opening up, it turned to civilian use and achieved rapid development. Through the efforts of more than 30 years of reform and opening up, by 2007, China's glass fiber production reached 1.6 million tons, ranking the top in the world.

Nowadays, glass fiber and its composite materials have been widely used in various fields of national economy such as aerospace, transportation, electronic appliances, building materials, energy conservation and environmental protection, infrastructure, sports and leisure, and have become a substitute for traditional materials such as steel, wood and stone. A new generation of composite materials.
