Glass fiber is one of the most versatile yarns in the market.
It has excellent mechanical properties, high resistance to fire, low thermal shrinkage, good resistance to chemicals. It is available in a wide range of yarn counts enabling to choose the best combination between lightness, resistance and cost.
Glass fiber is a good non-hygroscopic and heat-insulating material. Its low dielectricity constant renders it particularly suitable for electrical applications.
It has an excellent compatibility with resins .
In combination with carbon or para-aramid fibers (hybrid fabrics), allows balancing of complementary properties.
