Fiberglass - description and application

Fiberglass, the material on the characteristics and production methods like mineral wool


Glass fiber is produced from scrap glass or material that is identical to raw materials for production of glass itself. Fiberglass continuous filament prepared pulling through a special die. Ways vertical blowing air, gas or vapor of the molten glass mass obtained staple fiber.



The main difference from mineral glass wool or rock wool is the fiber length. In glass, it is about 5 centimeters, while a mineral or rock wool average fiber length and a half centimeters. This seems to be little option gives the glass fiber products of a number of advantages. Several extended length of fiber betrays fiberglass and its products has a good vibration resistance and greater flexibility, easy to transport. Pressed or rolled into tight rolls, for the transport of the material is four times less, and after deployment is rapidly becoming the production form.

Fiberglass comes in rolls or in the form of plates. Plates of glass characterized by high stiffness and can withstand high loads. Increased rigidity of the plate (VLP) are often side-tongued connections that enable fast and reliable installation. To improve the performance of vetrozaschite LVP trim steklovoylokom.

In most cases, fiberglass panels used to insulate the walls under the plaster work in the ventilation building facades. To date, several Russian manufacturers LVP received fire safety certificates, which allow the use of plates of glass for the works to increase the fire resistance of steel structures.

Because of the low density and a significant amount of air contained therein, fiberglass well save heat, maintaining this capacity over a long period. Lightness, softness and elasticity of the glass you can use it for finishing curved surfaces, oblitsovyvaya designs of any shape, regardless of configuration. Fiberglass also has the ability to maintain shape, resist aging and deformation.

High sound insulation properties of glass fibers, chemical resistance, no corrosion agents, not hygroscopic and incombustibility broaden the scope of fiberglass products.

Fiberglass products are used in outdoor insulation, ventilated facades in buildings for insulation, to improve the fire resistance of load-bearing steel structures for civil and industrial structures.
