Fiberglass is manufactured through the following process:
1.Melting Glass:
Raw materials such as silica sand, limestone, and other additives are melted in a furnace at high temperatures.
2.Drawing Fibers:
The molten glass is extruded through tiny openings to form continuous glass fibers.
3.Forming:
The fibers are either woven into a fabric, chopped into short strands, or formed into rovings (bundles of continuous strands).
4.Resin Application:
The fibers are combined with a resin matrix, typically polyester or epoxy, to create a composite material.
5.Molding:
The fiberglass composite is molded into the desired shape using techniques such as hand lay-up, spray-up, or pultrusion.
6.Curing:
The composite is allowed to cure and harden, resulting in a final product with the desired properties.
