Glass fibre is a good reinforcement material
Glass fibre yarn is produced by the twisting of the basic strands formed from several hundred filaments of glass fibres of the same diameter. The yarn can be twisted in two directions: either a Z-twist or an S-twist. Glass fibre yarn has various advantages over other yarns, which include low thermal conductivity, fire resistance, better electrical & thermal insulation properties and higher specific resistance as compared to steel. In addition, glass fibre yarn can also provide good dimensional stability, electrical resistance and heat resistance.
S-glass fibre has good mechanical properties. C-glass fibre is also known as chemical glass because of its good resistance to chemical impact. E-glass fibre is mostly used because it is a good insulator of electricity, owing to which it is also known as electrical glass. Furthermore, glass fibre is an inorganic fibre, because of which it is completely incombustible, corrosion resistant and heat resistant. Glass fibre Handtufted Carpet Yarn has several advantages over PVC yarn, aluminium yarn, etc., because of which it is used in several industries such as aerospace, electrical, automotive, construction, etc.
Glass fibre is a good reinforcement material that is not only cost-effective, but also has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which increases its overall strength and reduces its weight at the same time. Glass fibre yarn is globally used and adopted by every industry because of its material properties. In the electrical industry, it is used to make printed circuit boards because of its electrical properties. In the aerospace, automotive and construction industries, it is used for thermal insulation. In addition, growth in the production & demand for electrical products as well as growth in the automotive & construction industries are expected to drive the glass fibre yarn market over the forecast period.
