Fiberglass is a lightweight and strong material which is made of thin glass fibres. This can be transformed into a woven layer as reinforcement requires. It is not as brittle as carbon fibre and is cheaper, but is not as stiff as strong as that. It is quite versatile as products made of this material can be used for various purposes. Additionally, the fibreglass materials low weight dimensional stability, excellent strength and physical flexibility. For all these reasons, you’ll find that these are used in making various components of boats, aircrafts, automobiles, storage tanks, swimming pools, for making pipes, for roofing, casts and cladding.  Fiberglass and its relation with Corrosion Fiberglass is made from glass fibre, which makes the material reinforced from various environmental effects. Remember that the material is used in various industries, and therefore various kinds of fibreglass are used according to the needs, requirements and purposes. The glasses themselv...

Composite materials have a huge role to play in the fields of telecommunications and aerospace. It brings numerous and exciting benefits to the table which makes life easier for people in the industries, for suppliers and ultimately for the customers. To start with, composite materials have a high weight to strength ratio. This means that when compared to most other materials, a piece of composite material will prove to be stronger than a piece of  item  made from something else. One of the greatest benefits of it is that it can be modified or moulded into any shapes as desired. It is highly durable and surprisingly lightweight. Fibreglass is also known to be transparent which makes its position unique. It is for this reason that it is used commonly nowadays to made antennas and radomes.  These can be found in the critical parts of aircrafts where complex passages and shapes can be moulded with sacrificial mandrels. Now, let us come to Carbon fibres.  These ar...
