Do you know what the characteristics of Glass Mat are?

Glass Mat is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. There are many types. The advantages are good insulation, strong heat resistance, good corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. However, the disadvantages are brittleness and poor wear resistance. Glass Mat is often used as reinforcing materials in composite materials, electrical insulation materials and thermal insulation materials, circuit substrates and other fields of the national economy.

Glass Mat is a twistless roving plain weave fabric, which is an important base material for hand lay-up FRP. The strength of Glass Mat is mainly in the warp and weft directions of the fabric. For occasions that require high strength in the warp or weft direction, it can also be woven into a unidirectional cloth. It can arrange more twistless rovings in the warp or weft direction, and the single Warp direction cloth, single weft direction cloth.
Grid cloth is mostly used in hand lay-up process. Glass Fiber reinforced material grid cloth is mainly used in ship hulls, storage tanks, cooling towers, ships, vehicles, tanks, and building structural materials. Glass Mat is mainly used in industry for: heat insulation, fire prevention, and flame retardant. The material absorbs a large amount of heat when burned by flames and prevents the flames from passing through and insulating air.
Glass Mat is made by drawing glass into extremely fine glass filaments. At this time, the glass filaments have good flexibility. The glass fiber is spun into yarn and then passed through a loom to weave Glass Mat. Because the glass filaments are extremely thin and the surface area per unit mass is extremely large, the temperature resistance is reduced. Just like using a candle to melt thin copper wire. , but glass cannot burn.
The combustion we can see is actually the resin material coated on the surface of the Fiber Glass, or the attached impurities in order to improve the performance of the Fiber Glass. After the Glass Mat or some high-temperature resistant coatings are coated, products such as fire-resistant clothing, fire-resistant gloves, and fire-resistant blankets can be made. However, if it comes into direct contact with the skin, the broken fibers will cause greater irritation to the skin and cause itchiness.
