Fiberglass is a fiber reinforced polymer made of a plastic matrix reinforced by fine fibers of glass. It is also known as GFK. Fiberglass is a lightweight, extremely strong, and robust material. Although strength properties are somewhat lower than carbon fiber
and it is less stiff, the material is typically far less brittle, and
the raw materials are much less expensive. Its bulk strength and weight
properties are also very favorable when compared to metals, and it can
be easily formed using molding processes.
The plastic matrix may be epoxy, a thermosetting plastic (most often polyester or vinylester) or thermoplastic.
Common uses of fiberglass include high performance aircraft
(gliders), boats, automobiles, baths, hot tubs, water tanks, roofing,
pipes, cladding, casts, surfboards and external door skins.
