Fibre Glass and its cutting edge Chemistry
Researches for the extensive usage of fibre glass products were carried out in 1930s for the particular interest of the aviation industry. A means of mass production of the glass constituents was unintentionally discovered in 1932 by a researcher while he directed a jet of compressed air at a stream of molten glass and produced fibers. Later a suitable resin for combining fibre glass with plastic was developed in 1935. The first and major civilian application of fibre glass material was construction of boats and sports car bodies. Later it has been introduced to the common man life as Storage tanks, House building (Roofing laminate, door surroundings, Chimney etc.), oil and gas artificial lift systems, piping, GRP panel water tank, GRP ladder, plastic septic tanks and so on.
The basic elements for fiber glass products are specific natural minerals and other manufactured chemicals. The main raw materials are Silica Sand, lime stone and soda ash. Other components include borax, calcinated alumina, feldspar, nephline, synite, magnesite and kaolin clay. The cutting edge experimentation begins with the bio-bases mastics market. In order to dissolve the resin slowly when in contact with fiberglass, a dilute which consists of 38% hydraulic acid is being used. Concentrated hydrochloric acid would quickly dissolve the resin. Fibre glass is an immeasurably adaptable material due to its light weight, characteristically strength, power to battle weather conditions and variability in designs.
The based on the structure and elements used fiber glass is generally available in the following types:- |
||||
Material | Specific gravity | Tensile strength MPa (ksi) | Compressive strength MPa (ksi) | |
Polyester resin (Not reinforced)[16] | 1.28 | 55 (7.98) | 140 (20.3) | |
Polyester and Chopped Strand Mat Laminate 30% E-glass[16] | 1.4 | 100 (14.5) | 150 (21.8) | |
Polyester and Woven Roving Laminate 45% E-glass[16] | 1.6 | 250 (36.3) | 150 (21.8) | |
Polyester and Satin Weave Cloth Laminate 55% E-glass[16] | 1.7 | 300 (43.5) | 250 (36.3) | |
Polyester and Continuous Roving Laminate 70% E-glass[16] | 1.9 | 800 (116) | 350 (50.8) | |
E-Glass Epoxy composite[17] | 1.99 | 1,770 (257) | - |
In the automotive sector, silencers, as well as reducing noise, also serve to remove hot combustion gases and can significantly affect engine performance. Due to the very hot exhaust gases, filler is made from heat-resistant fibre glass. Special kinds of this material are designed for temperatures of over 1,000°C and thus ideal for use in hot exhaust systems. In this case the material can be processed with several techniques and here laser technology plays an important role. The advantage of cutting with laser is many. Such as
• No wear to the cutting tools or blades.
• Smooth cutting edges and no scrimmage
• Accuracy in cutting edges and can repeat often
• No falsification
Jigsaws or saws are also used for cutting the fibre glass panels. Fibre glass is hard and it can quickly dull any kind of blades. Depending on your project and your tools at hand, some fiberglass-cutting methods may provide better, safer results. Check out the guide below to see which cutting tool will work best for you. A router, fibre glass power trimmer, circular saw, hacksaw are some of the other tools which can be sued to cut the fibre glass based on your requirement.
Why GRP Composites?
GRP composites have Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance and it is highly suggestible for hard water and chemical environment while compared with traditional materials like steel, wood or Aluminum. GRP is light weight and is 80% lighter than steel and approximately 30%lighter than Aluminum. Proper earthing is required for steel Aluminum and Timber products as it conducts electricity where for GRP composite material earthing is not required. Fiber Glass products have no permanent deformity under impact and a design may last over 40-50 years maintenance free. If you go for a material where you find the cost of material is low, the regular maintenance will be needed and it increases the expenditure. Also the life cycle cost will be higher. It is always advisable to Opt for GRP components bases designs where the installation charges will be nominal, easy to handle and high productivity with lower life cycle cost.
GRP cased products are Transparent to EMI/RFI transmissions but steel Aluminum based products It interferes with EMI/RFI transmissions. When we consider the point Aesthetics there is no requirement for repainting as the composite color will be throughout the parts and it automatically blocks corrosion.
GP and GRE pipes can be used in variety such as :- desalination, water treatment, water distribution networks, water used for firefighting, chemical process plants, drinking water, hot and cold water, wastewater/sewage, Municipal waste, liquefies petroleum gas.
