Main Uses of Glass Fiber Fabric
 
Fiber glass cloth is usually used as reinforcing material in composite materials, electrical insulation materials and thermal insulation materials, circuit substrates and other national economic fields.
Glass fiber cloth is mostly used in the hand lay-up process. Glass fiber cloth is mainly used in hulls, storage tanks, cooling towers, ships, vehicles, tanks, etc.
Glass fiber cloth is widely used in wall reinforcement, external wall insulation, roof waterproofing, etc. It can also be used in the reinforcement of cement, plastic, asphalt, marble, mosaic and other wall materials. It is an ideal engineering material for the construction industry.
Glass fiber cloth is mainly used in industry: heat insulation, fire prevention and flame retardant. The material absorbs a large amount of heat when it is burned by a flame and can prevent the flame from passing through and isolate the air.

 

Usually glass fiber cloth manufacturing is divided into the following steps

 

 
 

Warping

Purpose of warping is line up the warp yarn on warping beam according to width and weight of fabric, hence may ready for sizing process.

 
 

Sizing

Purpose of sizing is avoiding the damage of warp yarn by friction of weaving parts to yarn breakage or damage on surface. It also may combine several warp beams into one weaving beam to reach enough yarn ends.

 
 

Heddling

Before weaving beam loading on weaving loom, all warp yarn need to be hooked up with heddles, droppers & reed.

 
 

Weaving

We use high speed air-jet weaving looms for weft yarn insertion.

 
 

De-Sizing 1

 

After weaving, the sizer need to be removed from fabric, fiber glass fabric is using high temperature treatment which will remove most of seizer out.

 
 

De-sizing 2

 

After the 1st desizing, the embryonic is set in a batch oven to to continued heated to remove the rest 10% sizer off.

 
 

Finishing

 

After desizing, the fabric should be treated by the SILANE to improve the interlocking ability between the glass fabric and epoxy resin.

 
 

Fabric examination for quality checking

Check the fabric quality and cut off the un-qualified parts when necessary.

How to Care for Glass Fibre Fabric?

 

Acetate: Hand Wash — Air Dry
Acetate is a man-made fibre, often found blended with other fibres to create beautiful, easy-to-drape clothing. Acetate and acetate blends clean up well, but they can be very sensitive to dye transfer. Check the care label, and then wash garments containing acetate fibres in cold water.

 

Cotton: Hot Water Wash — Tumble Dry Warm
Cotton is a worldwide favourite for comfortable, versatile clothing. A natural fibre, cotton can be found in garments as casual as a T-shirt or as elaborate as a ball gown.

Cotton fibres will shrink unless the fabric has been preshrunk or processed, so start with the care label. "Coldwater only" may signal that your ankle-length cotton trousers will convert themselves to capri pants if not washed correctly.

 

Linen: Cool Water Wash — Air Dry
Linen is a natural fiber, made from the flax plant. Check care labels on linen garments to determine whether the garment must be dry-cleaned. If machine-washable, wash according to label instructions, using water appropriate to the garment's color. Linen absorbs more water during the washing process than other fibres, so guard against overcrowding in the washer and dryer. Iron linen from the inside out, using steam at a hot iron setting.

 

Polyester: Cool Water Wash — Tumble Dry Warm or Air Dry
The last century's "wonder fibre," polyester creates colorful, durable, easy-care garments. Most polyester fabrics may be machine-washed using warm water, but check care labels first.

 

Silk: Hand Wash or Cool Warm Wash — Tumble Dry Cool or Air Dry
Supple, strong and lustrous, this natural fiber is among the world's oldest clothing materials. While silk fiber itself is washable, many weave patterns used for silk fabric will tighten or pucker if washed, and deep dye tones may not be colour-fast.
