Balanced E-glass fabric
FTS

Glass fibre is one of the most versatile fibres. It has excellent mechanical properties, excellent resistance to fire, very thermal shrinkage levels to guarantee good dimensional stability at high and low temperatures, excellent resistance to chemicals and furthermore is available in a wide range of yarn counts enabling the final user to choose the best combination between light weight, resistance properties and price.
Glass fibre is a good isolation material, and does not absorb humidity, plus its low dielectricity constant renders it particularly suitable for electrical applications.

Glass fibres offer a good balance between the cost of the product and the performance levels requested, a high resistance to compression and excellent compatibility with resins. They can also be used in combination with fibres of carbon or para-aramid (hybrid fabrics), giving an excellent balance between properties, weight and a subsequent reduction of costs.

Characteristics of glass fibre

- Low cost
- High resistance to compression
- Easy to wet out with resins
- Availability of different types of glass depending on the application
- Higher weight compared to other fibres when used in composites
- Low Modulus of elasticity
