If long, thin threads are drawn from a melt of glass, the result is glass fibers. These fibers, which can be used very flexibly in technical applications, are used today as optical fibers, in textile fabrics or as fillers in construction chemicals (in construction chemical products) and in glass fiber-reinforced plastics. Thanks to their outstanding properties combined with high cost-effectiveness, glass fiber-reinforced plastics are among the most important construction materials today.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Depending on the application, glass fibers are drawn from a preform or from a glass tank through heated nozzles. The main component of glass is silicon dioxide. Depending on the desired property profile, other metal oxides such as aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, beryllium oxide or calcium oxide are added. These combinations make it possible to produce glass fibers for different requirements, for example for very high mechanical requirements, very high temperatures or high chemical resistance. Standard fibers for electrical applications and plastic reinforcement are usually made from so-called E-glass (E = Electric).
