What Are The Classifications of Fiberglass Fabrics?

Glass type determines some of the main properties of glass fibers and also largely determines their range of applications. Therefore, according to the type of glass to distinguish glass fiber fabrics is the most basic and most commonly used classification methods. China's glass fiber fabrics are most commonly used C glass fiber cloth and E glass fiber cloth, other glass types of fabrics are still in the small batch production stage.

Classification of glass fiber fabrics by fabric form has a flat fabric and tubular fabric points. In general, most of the fabric to plane form weaving, special requirements can also be woven into tubular fabric. According to the national standard GB5434 textile glass fiber terms and definitions, tubular fabric (tubing) refers to the flattened width greater than 100mm of glass fiber tubular fabric. In our country is commonly known as round simple cloth, commonly used round simple cloth products are wind guide simple cloth and round simple over the wave cloth. Flattened width of less than 100mm tubular products called glass fiber casing (sleeving), glass fiber casing commonly used woven method of weaving, so it is also known as woven casing.

Plane fabrics according to its width can be divided into band, narrow fabrics and ordinary width fabrics. Width of not more than 100mm called glass fiber tape (tape). E glass fiber tape is suitable for use as a motor and electrical instrumentation winding. Width of 100-300mm of glass fiber fabrics called glass fiber narrow fabrics, width of 300mm or more that is the ordinary width of the fabric.

Plane fabrics can also be divided into two kinds of woven edge and non-woven edge according to the composition of its woven edge. General shuttle loom weaving, weft yarns woven continuously into the fabric edge of the said weaving edge (withselvage) fabrics, commonly known as light edge fabrics. Shuttle loom weaving, weft yarn cut off into the fabric edge of the said no weaving edge (without selvage) fabric, commonly known as burlap fabric.

3. According to the weaving method of classification of glass fiber fabrics according to the existing weaving method can be divided into woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, knitted fabrics and sewing four basic types of fabrics.

(1) woven fabric (wovenfabric) woven fabric refers to the loom or special weaving machinery, two sets of yarns perpendicular to each other, or interwoven at a particular angle into the glass fiber fabric. Glass fiber untwisted roving, single yarn, stranded yarn, bulky yarn, fancy yarn, blended yarn and other yarns can be woven into glass fiber woven fabrics. The glass type of warp and weft yarns, monofilament diameter, yarn structure, warp and weft yarn density in woven fabrics are the determining factors of fabric strength. Woven fabric of two

Groups of yarns sinking and floating intertwined with different laws, can constitute a different fabric organization (weave), commonly known as weaving pattern. Fiberglass commonly used fabric tissue is plain, twill, satin and leno organization, are relatively simple basic organization. In particular, the most used plain weave organization, only decorative weaving only use a slightly different fabric organization.

(2) braid (braid) braid is made of multiple glass fiber yarns interwoven with each other inclined fabric, in which all the yarn direction and the length of the fabric is not 0 or 90 ° direction. Flattened width of less than 100mm of glass fiber braided tubular fabric in our country is customarily referred to as braided casing. e glass fiber braided casing is mainly used for electrical insulation purposes, commonly used as wires, cables, braided protective sheaths for motors, electrical appliances in the line of the ligature tape. Can also be made into wicks, braided rope, braided packing, battery electrode protection sleeve and other products.

(3) knitted fabric (knitted fabric) glass fiber knitted fabric is made of glass fiber yarn rings and each other sets of plane or tubular fabric, is a modern development of new varieties of glass fiber textile products. Knitting is generally divided into warp knitting and weft knitting warp knitting system using a group or several groups of parallel arrangement of yarns, from the warp to feed all the working needles of the knitting machine at the same time into the loop and the formation of knitted fabrics, commonly used warp knitting fabrics organization, including the chain, the warp flat, the warp satin, the heavy diameter and the local lining weft and so on. Weft knitting is loaded from the weft direction of the yarn on the knitting machine working needles, so that the sequence of yarn bending into a circle, and each other through the set and the formation of knitted fabrics, weft to the basic organization, including flat knitting, ribbed, double reverse and double ribbed and so on. Due to the improvement of textile-type infiltration agent, so that the performance of glass fiber yarns to improve the ability to pass through the warp knitting or weft knitting machine, processed into a better performance of glass fiber knitted products. The development of such products in foreign countries earlier, there has been a large number of production and applications

(4) Stitched fabric (stitched fabric) stitched fabric is based on changes in the development of warp knitting fabric. General warp knitting fabric to warp knitting organization for the main body of the fabric, according to the needs of the use can also be added to the lining or lining as auxiliary raw materials. Sewn fabrics are lining material for the main body of the fabric, and soft sewing thread is only the lining material links and fixed, the fabric end use of the various properties required by the lining material to provide the lining material, the lining material is also a one-way single-layer yarn or two-way double-layer yarn development for multi-layer yarns, and can be clamped with a short cut filaments non-directional paved into the felt of a variety of structural forms. This has been with the original lining warp, lining weft warp knitted fabrics have a big difference, therefore, it is now set up a separate - class, called sewing fabrics. Fiberglass sewn fabrics are generally used as raw materials, sewing threads commonly used organic fiber yarns, if necessary, can also be used in glass fiber yarns.
