Fiber-reinforced Plastic, or fiberglass, offers many advantages over traditional materials: chief among these are high strength, light weight, flexibility in design parts consolidation, high dielectric strength, dimensional stability, corrosion resistance and low tooling costs. While not quite a household name, fiberglass has worked its way into a seemingly endless number of applications. It has virtually replaced other traditional materials in the recreational boating market. In the transportation industry, fiberglass structural components enjoy popularity because of their tremendous strength-to-weight properties and impressive design flexibility. Due to its high strength and lightweight, aerospace and high performance sporting goods utilize premium fiberglass materials such as carbon fiber and epoxies. Because of its electrical insulating properties, fiberglass is used widely in appliances, tools and other machinery. Additionally, corrosion-resistant fiberglass tanks and pipes offer extended service life over metals. Fiberglass Products Available: Fiber Mat Fiber Cloth Fiber Tape Woven Roving
