Fiberglass products factory explains the difference between carbon fiber and glass fiber!

glass fiber

The key difference between carbon fiber and glass fiber is that the composition is different. The key component of carbon fiber is carbon, while the main component of glass fiber is silica, alumina, calcium oxide, boron oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium oxide, etc. From a price point of view, the price of glass fiber is more cost-effective than carbon fiber.

Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. There are many types. The outstanding advantages are excellent insulating layer ability, strong temperature resistance, outstanding corrosion resistance and high impact toughness. The defect is brittleness and weak wear resistance. Glass fiber is generally used as an improvement material in composite materials, and is used in social and economic industries such as insulating materials, thermal insulation materials, and circuit substrates. Glass fiber has continuous fiber, fixed-length fiber and difference, as well as alkali-free, high-alkali and other differences.

Carbon fiber is a new type of fiber material with high toughness and high tenacity with a carbon content of more than 90%. Carbon fiber is generally used as a composite material. Its light weight and high strength are its obvious signs. Its relative density is only 1.7g/cm3, which is not 1/4 of that of steel, but its compressive strength is indeed many times that of steel. , It is a key structural material at the national defense, military and civilian levels. It not only has the characteristics of carbon materials, but also takes into account the softness and processability of textile fibers. a greater advantage.
