Classification of glass fiber materials
Glass fiber materials are categorized based on their composition, properties, and applications. The primary classifications include E-glass, S-glass, C-glass, and AR-glass. E-glass, the most common type, offers excellent electrical insulation and strength. S-glass provides superior strength and is used in aerospace applications. C-glass exhibits enhanced chemical resistance, making it suitable for corrosive environments. AR-glass, or alkali-resistant glass, is specifically designed for use in cement products. These classifications enable manufacturers and engineers to select the most appropriate glass fiber material for specific applications, considering factors such as strength requirements, chemical exposure, and electrical properties.
