Fibreglass Properties
Tensile Strength
Two types of fiberglass most commonly used are S-glass and E-glass. E-glass has good insulation properties and it will maintain its properties up to 1500 degree F(815 deg C). S-glass has a high tensile strength and is stiffer than E-glass.
Hardness
High strength to weight ratio and high flexural strength. Fibreglass is an attractive lightweight material that builds strength into almost any finished product or component. Pound for pound fibreglass can be stronger than steel and sheet metals. Highly resistant to environmental extremes. Fibreglass is built to last. Dollar for dollar, fibreglass reinforced plastic products provide better performance than plain non-reinforced plastic units.
Ductility
Fibreglass lacks the useful property of ductility. Fibreglass has a low ductility rating making it inflexible and cannot bend much.
Shear Strength
Fibreglass has a high shear strength rating. This makes it strong and hard to break. Its strength makes it the perfect material for light weight projects.
