A trademark name for glass which is formed into thin fibers. When twisted and plied into yarns, it is used to form a braid covering for wire and cable. Normally saturated with silicone-base varnish to prevent passage of moisture and fraying of fibers.
Small pieces of glass that are made into yarn. The yarn is woven into a fabric that is used in insulation and molded as a plastic.
a laminate of glass fibers and resin, coated in a gel coat of some type, commonly used for body components. Fiberglass fenders and bedsides are flared out more than the stock sheet metal, allowing for greater tire clearance. Fiberglass is also up to 75% lighter than the steel body components.
Glass in fiber form used to manufacture building materials such as insulation and shingles.
Term used to describe a variety of products made of, or with, glass fibres. See Glass Fibre.
1. Mole - a mold is generally the female taken from the original clay model. 2. Cast - a cast is the male reproduction made from such female molds. 3. Model - a model made with body panels, bumpers, etc., made of glass-fibered plastic.
Glass fibers formed as a continuos thread, used in the manufacturing of insulation, pipe, bathroom fixtures, etc.
Shorthand term referring to glass-fiber reinforced polyester. It can be used in sheet form to compose sign faces and cabinets or can be cast into custom forms, both projecting and in relief. May also be called spun glass when used in dimensional forms.
A fireproof fiber produced from glass and woven into flexible fabrics. Used for fiberglass wool and insulation.
Fiber similar to those of other fabrics, but made from glass.
Various material made from finespun filaments of glass.
a covering material made of glass fibers in resins
An individual filament made by attenuating molten glass. A continuous filament is a glass fiber of great or indefinite length; a staple fiber is a glass fiber of relatively short length (generally less than 17 inches). General description of polymetric (plastic) matrix reinforced with fibrous glass.
Filaments made by drawing molten glass. Woven by Hexcel into fabrics and commonly used as a composite reinforcement.
Glass in a fibrous form used in making various types of products including bathtubs.
A cost effective insulation. Fiberglass insulation is set snugly between ceiling joints and between wall studs.
Ultrafine extruded glass strands woven together to provide a cloth matting which is used in surfboard lamination.
A material composed of glass fibers in an epoxy matrix. This is an excellent kite material that combines strength and flexibility with relative light weight. It comes in several forms from solid fiberglass rod to hollow tubes.
Glass in a fibrous form used in the making of products such as shower stalls.
A material made of extremely fine glass fibers. Fiberglass is used in creating fabrics and is combined with plastic products to form the bodies of automobiles and boats.
A material made of pressed and heated glass particles. Used for sound absorption and insulation.
A lightweight composite material used in the construction of kayak hulls. Fiberglass is lightweight, has good strength, and is relatively easy to repair.
Glass in a fiberous form used in making the body of products such as boats and bathtubs.
A high strength resin reinforced material used as an outer laminate on Star Cases. Fiberglass used by Star Case has a stucco (pebbly) finish for superior resistance to marring and scratching. Star Case fiberglass also has exceptional bonding strength to plywood and its expansion & contraction coefficients are virtually the same as plywood thus negating delamination in extreme heat, cold and high solar situations.
Fine filaments of glass fiber in the form of rope or mat, when coated with polyester resins, catalyst and hardener can be molded into spas or other shapes.
Fibers similar to wool or cotton fibers, but made from glass; sometimes called fibrous glass. Glass fiber forms include cloth, yarn, mat, milled fibers, chopped strands, roving, woven roving and knitted fabrics.
Synthetic material for boat building. A glass fiber impregnated with a polyester or epoxy resin.
Glass threads formed into matting or fabric and used with special resins to form a covering of high strength-to-weight ratio for a canoe or kayak.
A non-flammable material made of spun glass fibers. It is used in thick wool- like blankets as building insulation, woven into fabrics, and used to reinforce plastic resins in durable, molded, solid forms for a variety of uses.
Glass fibers either loose or woven, reinforced with resin and used in the construction of many boats.
A composite material made by embedding glass fibers in a polymer matrix. May be used as a diffusing material in sheet form, or as a standard sash and frame element.
Finespun filaments of glass which are available in a rope or mat form. When used in a process with polyester resins, catalysts and hardeners, can be formed or molded into pools, spas and related shapes.
a cloth material used to hold much of the composite structure together. It is very strong for its weight and absorbs the resins well if manipulated correctly.
Fiberglas is a flexible, non-flammable material made of spun glass used for textiles, insulation and other purposes.
Epoxy material filled with fibres.
A manmade mineral fiber extruded in continuous filaments.
A material laid up and/or shaped to form hot tub shells. Fiber Optics: Lighting system which has light generated at a remote source. Light is transmitted along fibers.
Fine filaments of glass, usually made into a mat or cloth. When combined with epoxy or polyester resin, fiberglass creates a strong, long-lived, rigid, and waterproof material.
One of the oldest, strongest, and lowest cost reinforcement materials of all fibers today. Does not burn, shrink, stretch, or absorb moisture. The fibers are available in woven and non-woven forms.
Material used to manufacture such plumbing fixtures as whirlpools, bathtubs and shower modules. A molded sheet of gel coat is reinforced with a mixture of polyester resin and fiberglass strands. KOHLER FRP whirlpools offer an easy-to-care-for surface that is very durable.
Fiberglass is a man-made mineral fiber extruded in continuous filaments.
Trademark name for fine-spun filaments of glass that are made into yarn that is woven into textiles and which are used in woolly masses as insulation. Hardened with resins, it can also be pressed and molded into lightweight plastic-like material.
A construction method using layers of woven glass mats that are bonded together with glue.
Glass-fiber material, mainly as woven material;
A man-made fiber used primarily in the production of insulating materials and for reinforcing plastics and composites. The primary hazard is that thin fibers can be inhaled and deposited in the lung, where they can accumulate and may cause fibrotic changes. An additional hazard is eye and skin irritation.
Fiberglass or glassfibre is material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is used as a reinforcing agent for many polymer products; the resulting composite material, properly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), is called "fiberglass" in popular usage.
