Fiberglass under the Microscope

Fiberglass under the Microscope

Feb 12th 2020

What is Fiberglass? Fiberglass is a common type of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber. The fibers may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet, or woven into fabric. It is a strong, lightweight material that is chemical and heat resistant. On its own fiberglass will easily break. However, when fiberglass has a core of something between it, the material becomes very strong. Pound for po …
