Glass Fiber Fabric
Glass Fiber Fabric is woven in various configurations from four basic weave patterns, called plain, leno, satin, and basket. It is sold in rolls that range in length from 150 feet (45 meters) to 9,000 feet (2740 meters), and in many different widths. It also offers a wide choice of controlled properties depending on the industry it will be used in.
Glass fibers are known to produce fabrics with excellent dimensional stability as well, meaning that Glass Fiber fabric stretches only very minimally under stress- usually about three percent or less. Like glass itself, Glass Fiber is highly resistant to most harsh industrial chemicals. Oddly enough, despite its resilience and resistance to almost every possible type of industrial hazard, it is important that Glass Fiber Fabric be rolled onto a tube for shipment, and not folded, regardless of how large or small the order may be. Folding it for shipment can damage the cloth where it is creased. If this one precaution is followed, the structural integrity of the fabric will be preserved to provide strength or protection in whatever context it is needed for.
Asbestos is a ubiquitous substance in manufactured products for several reasons. Asbestos is freely available, being present in a large proportion of the Earth’s crust. The substance has high tensile strength, and is physically and chemically inert. It is heat-resistant and flame retardant. Asbestos is also very inexpensive to mine and use in manufacturing. For all of these reasons, thousands of different types of products manufactured prior to the 1980s contain asbestos.Asbestos products were manufactured in a large number of factories, and machine parts containing asbestos were present in thousands more.
Fire-resistant protective fabric was commonly made with asbestos. The Asbestos Fabric was used for protective gloves, aprons, curtains, and other items of clothing and draperies, and had many industrial uses.
