What Is Fiberglass?

Fiberglass is a man-made product that is composed of natural ingredients such as sand and recycled products like window glass and bottles. The ingredients are melted and spun to create small strands of fiberglass that together form “glass wool”. Fiberglass is pure white in its virgin state.

The use of a fiberglass is very advantageous because fiberglass does not conduct heat or cold and it keeps the temperature constant. It doesn’t expand or contract significantly which makes fiberglass resistant against thermal breaks. Fiberglass does not conduct electricity that makes it safe to use in decorations with electrical circuits.

All these advantages make fiberglass as a durable, strong and lightweight material with superior performance characteristics. Hence, you ordered idol remains almost unbreakable, easy to handle and comes with minimal weight.

Unmatched Strength and Durability

Fiberglass is a very durable and strong material. In construction works, sometimes steel replaced by fiberglass to lower construction weight by maintaining the strength.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

Fiberglass contains low embodied energy (low energy consumption in lineal production which prevent global warming) and has long life. In case of the fire, fiberglass releases less toxic gases than plastic or other composite materials. Therefore, experts believe that fiberglass is an environmentally friendly component.

Resistant to Corrosion

Fiberglass features non-corrosive characteristics. It withstands salty waters and extreme pressure, which makes fiberglass very competitive between other materials. In the chemical and oil industry fiberglass pipes and tanks are used widely because their life cycle is 3-5 times longer than other materials and they have no junctions which prevent leaking of hazardous materials. Because of these characteristics, fiberglass is used also to built boats and bridges to stand destructive effect of salt water.

Thermal and Electrical Insulation

Fiberglass has low conductivity with its amazing strength. That’s why it is used so widely in construction and outdoor design. Low conductivity helps to avoid thermal breaks in heavy thermal conditions, especially when there big thermal fluctuations. On the other hand, fiberglass is a very versatile insulator. It is 500 times less conductive than aluminum
