Glass fiber

Glass fiber is a long glass fiber made of glass. During production, thin threads are drawn from a glass melt and processed into a large number of end products. Glass fibers are used as optical waveguides for data transmission, as roving or as textile fabric for heat and sound insulation. 

Glass fiber is also used for glass fiber reinforced (GR = Glass Fiber Reinforced) plastics. These plastics are today one of the most important construction materials.GR (Glass Fiber Reinforced) Plastics are aging and weather resistant, chemically resistant and non-combustible. Their high modulus of elasticity is used to improve the mechanical properties of plastics.
