Is glass sand silicon and glass fiber the same substance?

Date:20-06-12

Glass fiber is an inorganic non-gold material with excellent properties. The original English name was: zhiglass fiber. It uses glass balls or waste glass as raw materials through high-temperature melting, drawing, winding, weaving and other processes. Finally, all kinds of products are formed. The diameter of the glass fiber monofilament is from several microns to more than 20 meters. It is equivalent to 1/20-1/5 of a hair strand. Each bundle of fiber strands has hundreds or even more Consisting of thousands of monofilaments, it is usually used as a reinforcing material in composite materials, electrical insulation materials and thermal insulation materials, circuit boards, etc., which are widely used in various fields of the national economy.China BBQ Gaskets Oven Suppliers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Characteristics of glass fiber:
The general concept of glass is that it is hard and fragile, and it is not suitable as a structural material. However, if it is drawn into silk, its strength is greatly increased and it has flexibility. Therefore, it can finally become an excellent structural material after being shaped with resin. As the diameter of glass fiber decreases, its strength increases. As a reinforcing material, glass fiber has the following characteristics. These characteristics make the use of glass fiber far wider than other types of fiber, and its development speed is far ahead of its characteristics. The characteristics are listed as follows:
(1) High tensile strength and small elongation (3%).
(2) High elasticity coefficient and good rigidity.
(3) The elongation within the elastic limit is large and the tensile strength is high, so the impact energy is large.
(4) It is inorganic fiber, non-combustible and has good chemical resistance.
(5) Low water absorption.
(6) Scale stability and heat resistance are good.
(7) Good processability, can be made into products of different forms such as strand, bundle, felt, and woven cloth.
(8) Transparent and light-permeable.
(9) Development of surface treatment agent with good adhesion to resin is completed.
(10) The price is cheap.
