Fiberglass fabrication is the process of combining thin glass fibers with different resins to produce a strong, light weight product. Since the introduction of fiberglass, it has been used as a reinforcing agent for plastics as well as insulation in buildings and appliances. Fiberglass is used in fabrication applications that demand light-weight material with high-strength and scratch-resistant qualities.
The earliest form of fiberglass wasn't truly fiberglass as it is currently understood. While in modern industry fiberglass usually refers to fiberglass reinforced plastics, when originally created the term referred to mass produced glass wool.
Games Slayter invented the process for mass production of glass fiber in 1932, which he used to produce glass wool he called 'fiberglas' by trapping gas in glass fibers.
Modern plastic fiberglass composite came several years later in 1936, when du Pont used a combination of fiberglass and resin to create a product with the gas of glass wool replaced with plastic. This greatly reduced the insulation properties of fiberglass, but added significant structural strength such that the material might be used in construction.
By 1942, peroxide curing and polyester resins similar to those used in fiberglass fabrication today were being used in the production of fiberglass. The development of plastics over the last century has accordingly led to significant improvements in basic fiberglass, and the expansion to countless special varieties and configurations.
In modern parlance, fiberglass usually refers to the newer form of glass fiber composite made using plastics and glass fibers, but also encompasses various glass fiber composites such as low-density glass wool used in insulation.
Of the fiberglass fabrication processes, fiberglass molding is the most commonly used process in the creation of fiberglass reinforced plastic products. The fiberglass itself is made of molten glass extruded through ultra fine openings in a tool, resulting in thread-like formations that are then woven together to form a rough cloth or patch. These fibers are combined with plastic resin by heat treatment or pressing. This process is used to form many different fiberglass products, including panels, shells of racing cars, electric circuit boards, machinery support and an extensive variety of other products. Fiberglass does not expand or shrink with temperature change. It is not water absorbent, has a high strength-to-weight ratio, is nonflammable and chemical resistant and acts as an electric insulator. Fiberglass fabricators manufacture various types of fiberglass products. One prominent example is corrugated fiberglass, which is made up of two-layer fiberglass sheets and fiberglass panels and is used in building construction.
The three main methods of fiberglass fabricating are open molding, closed molding and centrifugal molding. In open molding fiberglass fabrication, a layer of gel coat is applied and cured in a one-piece mold or structure. After being layered into the mold, the fiberglass and sprayed resin are allowed to cure. Open molding releases more emissions than the other two processes. In closed molding, the initial gel coat is applied in a two-part mold. Fibers in the form of chopped fibers or laminated sheets are sprayed or placed in the female part of the mold on top of the gel coat. The part cures after being sealed in the mold by a vacuum and catalyzed resin is injected into the pressurized mold. In centrifugal molding, the gel coat is applied to the sides of a spinning cylindrical mold. Layer by layer, catalyzed resins saturated with short fibers are sprayed into the mold until desired thickness is reached. Centrifugal molding is used to form cylindrical products, such as pipes and tanks. In all processes, the end products are then demolded and trimmed. Corrugated fiberglass is perhaps the most widely used fiberglass product used today. It is strong, may be either a solid color (often green) or transparent for light transmission into buildings. It is mostly used in building construction to make siding or roofing, and it is often used to build greenhouses and sheds. Corrugated fiberglass is generally composed of two layers that are glued together. The outer layer is a hard, weather-resistant resin surface, while the other layers are made of fiberglass.
Fiberglass enclosures like fiberglass tanks and fiberglass boxes are other important fiberglass products. Other examples of fiberglass reinforced plastics include fiberglass pipes and fiberglass rods.
Fiberglass fabricating begins with one of three molding processes before continuing on the certain steps consistent across methods. These initial molding processes are open molding, closed molding, and centrifugal molding.
There are a number of different types of fiberglass and resins used to make fiberglass materials and products with different strengths, aesthetics and applications. Fiberglass is classified into seven main types. E-glass is the most common glass reinforced plastic variety, A-glass is characterized by low boron oxide concentration, E-CR-glass has a high acid resistance, C-glass is used for glass staple fibers, D-glass features a high dielectric constant, R-glass is known for its exceptional mechanical properties and S-glass is known for its very high tensile strength. These fiberglass types are mixed with thermosetting resins, which are usually made of epoxy or polyester. Resins are used for molding, laminating and casting. Epoxy resin has a higher performance and therefore a higher cost, and it is used in weight-critical, high strength applications. Polyester resins are less expensive, more widely used and have good resistance to corrosion.
There are a few key descriptors used in identifying a particular type of fiberglass. The basic glass fiber material used in the fabrication process and the type of resin used has the most influence on the basic properties of the completed fiberglass product.
The versatility of fiberglass lends it to applications across countless industries. It can serve in a huge number of structural roles where metals or pure plastics may otherwise be used, including but not limited to:
While any number of typical industrial machines will be found at a fiberglass fabricator, there are two unique pieces of machinery crucial to the production of fiberglass products:
Choosing fiberglass fabricators for your project, ongoing supply requirements, or fiberglass repair can be difficult. Rather than trying to determine the best or cheapest fiberglass fabricators in your area, you instead should look for the one best suited to your custom needs.
While there are any number of materials which may be used in specific applications instead of fiberglass, aluminum stands out as the most consistent alternative due to largely similar properties. Aluminum and fiberglass reinforced plastics offer similar densities and physical versatility, but with a few key differences. Different applications may make aluminum or fiberglass more desirable.
Fiberglass is often a superior material in comparison to many others, specifically aluminum, which is the main alternative to fiberglass. Pultruded fiberglass shapes have several advantages over comparable aluminum extruded shapes. Pultruded fiberglass has superior resistance to a wide variety of chemicals. Fiberglass shapes are about 70% of the weight of aluminum shapes but with the same density. Pultruded fiberglass is non-conductive with a high dielectric capability, while aluminum is a conductor. Fiberglass is a much better insulator than aluminum, as it has much lower thermal conductivity. Pigment added to the resins of fiberglass can provide color throughout the part, while aluminum requires prefinishing, anodic coatings or paint. Fiberglass is transparent to radio waves and EMI/RFI transmissions and is often used for radar and antennae enclosures and supports. Aluminum is highly reflective, making it inappropriate for such applications. Pultruded fiberglass shapes can be easily fabricated in the field with common carpenter tools and do not require torches or welding. Finally, the glass mat in pultruded fiberglass shapes evenly distributes the load of an impact, while aluminum easily deforms. Fiberglass reinforced plastic is an excellent construction material for an extensive range of products.
