Fiberglass – Different industries 

Introduction 

The world of industry and construction has always been searching for widely – used, cheap and of course resistant materials . 
Fiber glass types with certain characteristics  are nowadays used in most of industries such as construction , ship construction and car manufacturer . 
In this article , we want to describe fiber glass sheets and parts , characteristics and applications they have specially in building construction . So if you are dealing with different industries or  you are interested in fiber glass  , stay with us to the end of this article . 

What is fiber glass

Fiber glass is made from the combination of fibers with polymer materials . Fiber is used as a booster and polymer materials like resin are used as splicer . In fact , the resin helps to spread the force and tension imported into the segment across its surface . Fiber glass sheets are very light and due to this , they are applicable in different industries and could be a suitable alternative to many of previous consumed materials . In the following we will describe fiberglass applications . 

Fiber glass and composites benefits from other similar materials :

-    They are resistant to the chemicals and UV rays 
-    It is economical to use fiber glass types in different industries 

-    Fiber glass can be produced in different shapes and designs  
-    They are very durable and light 

How many resin types are used to make fiber glass types

Fiber glass sheets are classified into different categories based on resin used in their structure , which makes them have different characteristics . The resin used in producing fiberglass parts has three general categories :

-    Poly ester : Poly ester has weak resistance against corrosive factors . 
-    Vinyl ester : Vinyl ester has good resistance against corrosion . 
-    Epoxy : This type of resin has very high resistance against corrosion and air conditions . 

However , non – saturated ortho phthalic poly ester is a very useful type of resin used these days in the manufacturer of different fiber glass . This type of resin is used worldwidely and has good resistance and proper price too . 

What industries use fiber glass 

Fiber glass has great features so it is very useful . Fiber glass can some times act harder than steel , lighter than any other industrial piece and acts as a nonconductor . It all makes it applicable in different industries . 

Properties 

-    Fiber glass is used as a nonconductor for water and acid tanks . Fiber glass prevents corrosion for all kinds of tanks . 
-    Types of fiber glass is used in car parts such as car cabin and car bumper . 

-    Fiber glass has important role to construct iranite . 
-     The cement silos are made using a fiber glass . 
-    The body and cover of medical and industrial equipments are made using a glass . 
-    Fiber glass is used in aerospace and marine industries . 

The five use of fiber glass types construction and urban decor industries
There are many types of fiber glass in the construction industry these days :
-    Used in building facilities and complexes . 
-    Due to the manufacturer of fiber glass in different shapes and designs , it is used to construct urban sculptures and urban decorative items . For example many of benches in parks , urban facades and etc. are made using fiber glass . 
-    It is used in the interior design of a building , shop windows . 
-    Decorative façade of buildings is made using fiber glass . 
-    It is used to build pool , Jacuzzi , toilet sink . 
Fiber glass types are classified into two categories . The first category is classified according to the weight between 300 and 1200 grams and 2nd category is based on the shape . 

Industries using fiber glass 

Building construction :The construction industry has always been interested in the use of new possibilities andtechnologies . 

The most important goal in this industry is to find suitable alternatives for iron and wood . Fiberglass or polymer composites are one of the best options to sustain natural resources due to light weight and resistance . Fiber glass use in construction is not limited to exterior building and is also used in interior design . 

Marine industries : Fiber glass resistance and durability is one of the most important reasons that have converted it into dominant matter in the construction of parts of boats and ships . One of the most important cases of using this material is in marine industry because it can be transformed into different formats . It makes it very easy to deal with fiber glass .

Electrical industry : Fiber  Glass is one of the most common materials used to insulation electrical equipments . Fiber glass is also used in the power panel , transformers , computer parts , etc.

Aerospace industry :  The material used in the aircraft industry and aerospace industry should be sustainable . Fiber glass is often used in the body and seats of  airplanes and  choppers . 

Conclusion

Today  , fiber glass sheet and fiber glass mold is used generally in different industries specially in construction industry  . All Durability , strength , lightness , appropriate price , variety in design and type , etc. have caused fiber glass is used different applications and it took the place of low - quality raw materials . Fiber glass is a completely versatile material that has very little weight , on the other hand the innate strength of fiber glass compounds has caused it to be used in different industries including aircraft parts , safety hats , boats and automobile part to plumping , sewage pipes . 
 

It need to be said that  fiberglass production and manufacturing processes should be carried out in standard and safe conditions as when cooking styrene oxide resin releases , which these vapours are toxic and carcinogens for human lungs . 
Also , in the production of this substance in certain concentrations , there may have  risks such as explosion . To use fiber glass its better to be aware of advantages and disadvantages of this material . Its better to do necessary researches before using fiber glass .
