Fiberglass sheets are sheets made of thin, small diameter superfine glass reinforced with plastic. The sheets have exceptional tensile strength with resistance to corrosion, fire and chemicals, such as organic solvents, bleach, and acids. The most valued aspect of fiberglass sheets is their strength-to-weight ratio, which is due to the fibres carrying the load while the plastic distributes the weight. Fiberglass sheets are available in thicknesses that range from 1.5 mm to 75 mm.
Advantages of Fiberglass Sheets
The advantages of fiberglass sheets include:
- Fiberglass is lightweight and very strong at the same time. It can be stronger than steel so it will be easier to use fiberglass in place of steel because it requires less manpower and it’s easier to work with.
- Can be moulded into various complex shapes. It is a very flexible and versatile material allowing it to be moulded to the required specification.
- Corrosion resistant - fiberglass is corrosive resistant to many chemicals, which makes it the perfect material to be used where corrosive chemicals are used.
- UV Stability- They have high UV inhibitors which prevent them from being degraded by degradation, it is transparent to electromagnetic radiation.
- Fiberglass is non-magnetic.
- It is suitable for all kinds of weather as it is not affected by the environment. It remains undamaged in the rain or in the sun.
- It is chemically inert under many circumstances.
- It is non-conductive and a good insulator of electricity.
- It does not shrink, rust, burn or expand.
- Durable, it lasts longer than most materials even under unfavourable conditions.
- It is affordable and economical. It is very cost effective to purchase as compared to other materials which may be used for example in the construction industry, and it also requires almost zero maintenance, meaning that maintenance costs will be eliminated.
- Fiberglass can be recycled using different technical methods, which means it can be used over and over.
