Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. It has good insulation, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. It is made of glass balls or glass through high-temperature melting, wire drawing, winding, weaving and other processes. The diameter of monofilament is from a few microns to more than 20 microns, which is equivalent to 1 / 20-1 / 5 of a hair. Each bundle of fiber filaments is composed of hundreds or even thousands of monofilaments. Glass fiber is usually used as reinforcement material in composite materials, electrical insulation material, thermal insulation material, circuit board and other fields of national economy.

Glass fiber composite materials are widely used in the manufacture of yacht hulls and decks because of their corrosion resistance, light weight and excellent reinforcement effect.
Wind energy and photovoltaic are both pollution-free and sustainable energy sources. Glass fiber is a good material for manufacturing glass fiber reinforced plastic blades and unit covers because of its superior reinforcement effect and light weight.
The application of glass fiber reinforced composites in electronic and electrical fields mainly takes advantage of its electrical insulation and corrosion resistance. The application of composite materials in electronic and electrical fields mainly includes the following parts:
1. Electrical cover: including electrical switch box, electrical wiring box, instrument panel cover, etc.
2. Electrical components and parts: such as insulators, insulating tools, motor end caps, etc.
3. Power transmission line includes composite cable support, cable trench support, etc.
Due to the special requirements for materials in aerospace, military and other fields, glass fiber composites can provide a wide range of solutions for these fields because of their light weight, high strength, impact resistance and flame retardancy.
Glass fiber composite materials are widely used in the chemical industry, manufacturing chemical containers (such as storage tanks), anti-corrosion grilles, etc. because of their good corrosion resistance and excellent reinforcement effect.
Glass fiber has the characteristics of good size, superior reinforcement performance, light weight and corrosion resistance compared with steel, concrete and other materials, which makes glass fiber reinforced materials become ideal materials for manufacturing bridges, wharves, expressway pavement, trestles, waterfront buildings, pipelines and other infrastructure.
Glass fiber composite materials have the characteristics of high strength, light weight, aging resistance, good flame retardant performance, sound insulation and heat insulation. They can be widely used to manufacture a variety of building materials, such as reinforced concrete, composite wall, thermal insulation screen and decoration, FRP reinforcement, sanitary ware, swimming pool, ceiling, lighting board, FRP tile, door panel, cooling tower, etc.
Because composite materials have obvious advantages over traditional materials in toughness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and temperature resistance, and meet the requirements of transportation vehicles for light weight and high strength, they are more and more widely used in the automotive field.
Compared with traditional materials such as aluminum and steel, the characteristics of glass fiber reinforced materials such as corrosion resistance, light weight and high strength bring better performance and lighter weight to the composite materials.
Composite materials have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, large freedom of design, easy processing and molding, low friction coefficient, good fatigue resistance, etc., and have been widely used in sports equipment.
