What is Fiberglass?
Fiberglass, (also called fibreglass and glass fibre), is a material consisting of numerous extremely fine fibers of glass.Fiberglass is lightweight, corrosion resistant, economical, easily processed, has good mechanical properties, and has over 50 years of history. It is the dominant material in industries such as boat building and corrosion equipment, and it plays a major role in industries such as architectural, automotive, medical, recreational, and industrial equipment.
