Fiberglass Mesh-A Versatile Mesh Product

With the development of the times, fiberglass mesh has gradually entered the public eye. This kind of mesh product has a wide range of uses and tough quality and is very popular in the market. However, people still have many unclear points about the classification and materials of this product. This article will lead you to know more about fiberglass.

What Is Fiberglass Mesh Tape

Fiberglass is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent properties. Fibers are made by melting, extruding, and stretching glass. The main ingredients are silicate mixtures such as aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and boron, and some other ingredients can be added due to modification needs. A few microns to tens of microns in diameter. There are long and short filaments. It is brittle, but has extremely high tensile strength and is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. Good sound insulation and insulation. It can be made into glass cloth, etc., which is widely used in insulation, sound insulation, and heat insulation materials; it can also be used as reinforced skeleton materials, which can be used with resin, cement, etc. to make composite materials such as fiberglass reinforced plastics, reinforced plastics, glass rods, concrete, and optical fiber.

Fiberglass mesh is a versatile construction material made from woven fiberglass yarns. It is primarily used to reinforce and stabilize surfaces, providing additional strength and durability. The mesh is lightweight, yet strong, and is resistant to chemicals, moisture, and temperature changes. It is commonly used in applications such as wall and ceiling reinforcement, waterproofing, exterior insulation systems, and as a base for plaster, stucco, and tile installations. Fiberglass mesh helps prevent cracking, improves adhesion, and extends the life of the finished surface, making it an essential component in both residential and commercial construction projects.

Characteristics of Fiberglass Mesh

As a special chemical product, fiberglass mesh has many advantages, such as good insulation, strong heat resistance, good corrosion resistance, and high mechanical strength. However, it also has some inevitable shortcomings, such as brittleness and wear resistance.

Specific Advantages of Fiberglass Mesh

1. High tensile strength and small elongation (3%).
2. High elastic coefficient and good rigidity.
3. Fiberglass mesh has large elongation within the elastic limit and high tensile strength, so it absorbs large impact energy.
4. Fiberglass mesh is made of inorganic fiber, it is non-flammable and It has good chemical resistance.
5. Low water absorption.
6. Excellent dimensional stability and heat resistance.
7. Fiberglass mesh has good processability and can be made into products of different shapes such as strands, bundles, felts, and woven fabrics.
8. Cheap fiberglass mesh price
9. Fiberglass mesh is almost impossible to burn and can be melted into glass-like beads at high temperatures.

Classification of fiberglass mesh

There are many types of fiberglass mesh, which can be roughly divided into the following categories according to different diameters and uses.

Classification of Fiberglass Mesh According to Diameter

Fiberglass monofilament is cylindrical, so its thickness can be expressed as diameter. Drawn glass fibers are usually divided into several types according to the diameter range (the diameter value is in um).
Thick fiber: its single filament diameter is generally 30um
Primary fiber: its single filament diameter is greater than 20um;
Intermediate fiber: single filament diameter 10~20um
Advanced fiber: (also known as textile fiber) its single filament diameter is 3-10um. Glass fibers with a single filament diameter of less than 4um are also called ultrafine fibers.
Different single filament diameters not only have different fiber properties but also affect the fiber production process, output, and cost. Generally, 5-10um fibers are used as textile products, and 10-14um fibers are generally suitable for twistless roving, non-woven fabrics, chopped fiber mats, etc.

Classification of Fiberglass According to Fiberglass Properties

This is a new type of glass fiber newly developed to meet special use requirements. The fiber itself has some special and excellent properties. It can be roughly divided into: high-strength glass fiber; high-modulus glass fiber; high-temperature-resistant glass fiber; alkali-resistant glass fiber. Glass fiber; acid-resistant glass fiber; ordinary glass fiber (referring to alkali-free and medium-alkali glass fiber); optical fiber; low dielectric constant glass fiber; conductive fiber, etc.

Classification of fiberglass according to glass raw material composition

Alkali-free fiber (commonly known as E glass): R2O content is less than 0.8%, which is an aluminum borosilicate component. Its chemical stability, electrical insulation properties, and strength are all very good.
High-alkali fiber: glass component with an R2O content equal to or greater than 15%.

Classification of Fiberglass According to Mesh Size and Weight

Classified according to the quality of fiberglass mesh per square meter. Light mass fiber web, heavy mass fiber web.
1.Mesh area: 10mm×10mm, 8mm×8mm, 7mm×7mm, 5mm×5mm, 4mm×4mm, 3mm×3mm
2. Mass (weight) per square: between 30 grams and 160 grams
