The uses of fiberglass resins in the manufacturing sector have included fiberglass resin in manufacturing methods like the pre-pegs and fiber roving.

1. Benefits of Using Fibreglass
Resin Products

2. • Fibreglass resin also referred to as glass-reinforced plastic is a polymer made of plastic and toughened by
fine fibres made of glass material. The plastic matrix used with the fibreglass resin can be made of epoxy,
thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic. Let’s take a look at the benefits mentioned in this post by leading
fibreglass resin manufacturers.

3. • Fibreglass resin is produced by melting a mixture of sand and chemical into liquid then pushing the liquid
through bundles of small cavities to shape it. The shaping cavities can be at most 25 micrometers in width
for the E- glass or 9 micrometers for the S-glass fibreglass resin. After the fibreglass is shaped, its filaments
are also sized using a special chemical solvent. Thereafter, the filaments are bound together in great
quantities to form a roving. It is from this roving that the weight of the fibreglass resin is determined. Once
the filaments are done, a primer coating is induced on the fibreglass rovings to protect the filaments from
being tampered with. The coating is also the one that facilitates exchange of substances from the glassfibre
to the thermoset plastic. Absence of the primer layer causes the fibres to merge with the matrix in the
composition hence a localized failure occurs.

4. • The fibreglass resin, consisting of numerous rovings, can be applied in a complex situation like filament
winding, pultrusion or gun roving. Additionally, they are applied in the intermediary step of producing
chopped strand mats, woven fabrics, uni-directional and knit fabrics. For their stiff and strong properties in
tension and compression, fibreglass resins were once commercially introduced in reshaping the aircraft
wings of the fighter jets in world war two. Then on the fibreglass resin became a raw material in the
manufacture of boats. Since then, then more additional applications have been made in the automobile and
sports gear arena. Model aircrafts also have some fibreglass resin in them.

5. • Still building on the uses of fibreglass resins, the manufacturing sector has introduced fibreglass resin in
manufacturing techniques like the pre-pegs and the fibre roving. It gets approval as a prerequisite material
due to its strong nature. In the telecommunication world the fibreglass resin is picked when technicians
want to produce high frequency antennas.
• Fibreglass resins have indeed been of great use in the industrial setting. Moving on to our residential homes,
they are the composition of the storage tanks we keep water in. They are great materials in the manufacture
of surrounds for doors, window canopies, chimneys and over door canopies. For their reduced weight,
working with them is less tedious in our homes.

6. • Fibreglass resins form part of our household piping systems. From the drinking water system to the gas
systems; the cooling water system to the firewater system, all the pipe work done won’t lack components of
fibreglass.
• With numerous advantages maybe the only setback of the fibreglass will be its weakness in retaining
mechanical support. Fibreglass loses its strength when introduced to hot water. The increase in temperature
and pressure generates cracks inside the resins rendering the fibreglass resin less effective.
• Though a disadvantage arises the advantages overrule the one demerit to put fibreglass as one of the sort
after building material.
