Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material. It is made of pyrophyllite, quartz sand, kaolin, and other raw materials through high-temperature melting, drawing, drying, winding, and raw yarn reprocessing. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, non-flammability, corrosion resistance, heat insulation, sound insulation, high tensile strength, and good electrical insulation. Chopped glass fiber yarn is made by mechanically cutting glass fiber filaments, also known as chopped glass fiber yarn. Its basic performance mainly depends on the performance of its raw material glass fiber filament.
Chopped glass fiber yarn products are widely used in various industries such as refractory materials, gypsum industry, building materials industry, FRP products, automotive brake pads, resin manhole covers, reinforced plastic products, surface felt, etc. Because it has good cost-effectiveness, it is particularly suitable for compounding with resin as a reinforcing material for automobile, train, and ship hulls, and for high-temperature resistant needle felt, automotive sound-absorbing sheets, hot-rolled steel, etc.
Its products are widely used in the fields of automobiles, construction, aviation, and daily necessities. Typical products include auto parts, electronic and electrical products, mechanical products, etc. It can also be used to enhance the inorganic fiber with excellent anti-seepage and anti-cracking properties of mortar concrete. It is also a highly competitive product for replacing polyester fiber, lignin fiber, etc. for enhancing mortar concrete. It can also improve the high temperature stability, low temperature crack resistance, and fatigue resistance of asphalt concrete and extend the service life of road surfaces. Therefore, glass fiber chopped strands are widely used.
As we all know, glass fiber chopped strands have the characteristics of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and no rust, so they are widely used in water treatment projects. With the introduction of national environmental protection, energy conservation, and emission reduction policies and relevant laws and regulations, the country will increase investment in this field, and the application of glass fiber chopped strands in water treatment facilities will have great progress. Environmental protection and renewable energy projects are projects that the country focuses on and supports, and are also application areas that the glass fiber chopped strand industry has paid attention to in recent years. The market development space is broad.
With the development of modern industry and the improvement of people's living standards, there is an increasing need for lightweight, high-strength, and low-cost materials to save energy and improve production efficiency. In this era, glass fiber reinforced composite materials with these three properties and excellent cost performance have replaced steel and wood reinforcement materials in the fields of building materials, rail transportation, petrochemicals, wind power generation, automobile manufacturing, etc. The glass fiber used in these fields is mainly glass fiber reinforced products composited with resin substrates. Glass fiber materials mainly play a reinforcing role in glass fiber reinforced plastics. The amount of glass fiber used in glass fiber reinforced plastics accounts for 70-75%. Because glass fiber also has good heat resistance, insulation, and corrosion resistance, it is often used as electrical insulation materials, thermal insulation materials, filter materials, etc., which account for a large proportion of the amount of glass fiber. Against the background of the continuous growth of global composite material market demand for many years, the application prospects of glass fiber and its products are broad and are still expanding, and the future market space has great potential.
