What is the difference between Glass Mat and ordinary textile yarn?

The difference between Fiber Glass and ordinary textile yarn lies in materials, properties, uses, etc.

First of all, Glass Mat is composed of Glass Fiber, while ordinary textile yarn can be composed of a variety of materials, such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, etc.

Secondly, Glass Mat has many good properties. First of all, it has excellent high temperature resistance and can withstand use in high temperature environments; secondly, it has excellent electrical insulation properties and can be used in the manufacture of electrical insulation materials; in addition, Glass Mat also has corrosion resistance and UV resistance. performance and wear resistance, etc. Ordinary textile yarns usually do not have these excellent properties.
In addition, the purpose of Glass Mat is also different from ordinary textile yarn. Fiber Glass is often used to make various fiberglass products, such as Fiberglass Cloth, fiberglass tubes, fiberglass tapes, etc.; it can also be used to make reinforced materials, such as reinforced plastics, reinforced cement, etc. Ordinary textile yarns are usually used to make various textiles, such as clothing, bedding, shoes and hats, cars and boats, etc.
In addition, there are some differences in the processing methods of Glass Mat and ordinary textile yarn. Fiber Glass is usually melted and drawn at high temperature to form fibers, which are then twisted and knitted to form yarn. Ordinary textile yarns are usually made of natural fibers or chemical fibers through cotton spinning, linen spinning, blending and other processing techniques.
In addition, there are differences in fiber properties between Glass Mat and ordinary textile yarn. Glass Mat is usually a very slender fiber, often a continuous fiber, and its diameter is very thin, usually between a few microns and tens of microns; while the fibers of ordinary textile yarn are usually thicker, with a diameter of several tens of microns. Between ten nanometers and hundreds of nanometers. Due to the difference in fiber thickness, Glass Mat is less soft, while ordinary textile yarn is usually softer.
