Fiberglass Tissue
Oct 18th, 2022 at 11:29 Automobiles Bannu 74 viewsFiberglass tissue ;is a non-woven felt made of randomly oriented glass fibers distributed in a special binder by a wet-lay process. This material is used in composite surface applications. It adds smoothness, luster, and cleanliness of color to the surface - and it improves water resistance and durability of the product. Ideal for reinforcement of flooring and roof materials.
Applications
FGT Series fiberglass tissue is available in a variety of densities and reinforcement spacing options.
Serves as a wrap for both underground and overground pipeline systems to counter natural and artificial corrosion. Good for waterproofing applications and waterproofing in the form of roofing felt.
Benefits
Serves as both a reinforcement and protection system.
Compatible with bitumen and coal tar enamels.
Superior strength characteristics due to longitudinal reinforcement with glass yarn.
Fiberglass Mat
Fiberglass Mat ;is one of the most popular forms of reinforcement for non-structural applications. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and can quickly build thickness into parts, molds, or even a repair. It features randomly oriented strands throughout that effectively hide print-through of heavier fabrics and create an equal stiffness in all directions for molds and parts.
Note: All Fiberglass Mat is made to be used with resin to create hard, composite parts. However, it is NOT compatible with epoxy resin. Mat has a light binder that holds it together. During lay-up, it requires styrene to break down that binder and allow for complete resin saturation. Epoxy does not contain styrene and therefore cannot be effectively used with the mat. Use polyester or vinyl ester resin for these applications.
