FIBERGLASS

Fiberglass can also be called as Glassfibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP). Sometimes FRP is used and is the abbreviation for Fiber Reinforced Plastic. Its main components are glass fibre and polyester resin. Glass fiber can be made either into yarn for weaving into glass cloth, or into roving. For polyester resin, with the addition of a catalysts and accelerator, it can become a chemically resistant hard solid. Therefore, it is an ideal reinforcing material for plastics.
