What is the difference between fiberglass cloth and fiberglass mat?


Fiberglass Cloth and Fiberglass Mat are two kinds of common Fiberglass products. There are significant differences in material composition, manufacturing process, performance characteristics and application fields. This paper will discuss the differences between these two materials and their applications in many fields, such as industrial production, construction, transportation and so on.
Material composition and manufacturing process
Fiberglass Cloth is made of high-quality alkali-free glass fiber yarn, which is processed by special processes such as spinning and weaving. This material has good electrical insulation, thermal insulation and mechanical properties, and strength is much higher than the same thickness of other glass fiber products. According to different use conditions, Fiberglass Cloth can be expanded or not expanded in the production process, in order to adapt to a variety of complex environment.
Fiberglass mat, by contrast, are non-woven fabrics made of continuous glass filaments by processes such as needling or hot pressing. Its structure is relatively loose, fiber distribution is more uniform, with good air permeability and sound absorption performance. In addition, fiberglass mat can also be added by different resins, adhesives and other auxiliary materials, the formation of composite materials to meet specific performance needs.
Performance characteristics
Fiberglass Cloth is famous for its high strength, high modulus, low shrinkage, non-deformation and other characteristics. It can keep stable performance in the environment of -70 ° C to 550 ° C, and has good resistance to ozone, oxidation, light and climate aging. In addition, Fiberglass Cloth also has good electrical insulation and thermal insulation performance, making it become electrical equipment, high-temperature pipes, fan blades and other high-strength requirements of equipment ideal choice.
Fiberglass mat is known for its good air permeability, sound absorption and flexibility. The density and thickness of the fiber can be adjusted to meet different application requirements. At the same time, fiberglass mat also has good corrosion resistance and fire resistance, making it become the building insulation, thermal insulation, fire and shipbuilding fields such as the preferred materials.
Application Fields
Fiberglass Cloth is widely used in many fields, such as industrial production, construction, transportation and so on. In industrial production, it is often used as reinforcing material, and resin and other matrix materials made of various composite materials products, such as FRP products, wind turbine blades. In the field of construction, Fiberglass Cloth can be used for roof waterproofing, wall reinforcement and other aspects. In the field of transportation, it is often used in cars, trains and other vehicles of lightweight design and structural reinforcement.
Glass fiber felt is mainly used in the fields of sound insulation, thermal insulation, fire prevention and shipbuilding. In the construction of sound insulation, fiberglass mat can effectively isolate the spread of noise, improve indoor comfort. In the heat preservation, it can maintain the stability of indoor temperature, reduce the waste of energy. In fire prevention, fiberglass mat has good fire resistance, can effectively prevent the spread of fire. In addition, in the shipbuilding, fiberglass mat is also widely used in the hull of the structural strengthening and sound insulation and other aspects.
Conclusion
To sum up, there are significant differences between Fiberglass Cloth and fiberglass mat in material composition, manufacturing process, performance characteristics and application fields. Fiberglass Cloth with its high strength, high modulus and other characteristics of industrial production, construction, transportation and other fields of the preferred material; fiberglass mat plays an important role in sound insulation, thermal insulation, fire protection and shipbuilding because of its good air permeability, sound absorption and softness. Therefore, in the choice of using these two materials, we need to according to the specific application needs and performance requirements to make a reasonable choice.
