Monofilament glass fiber is a very special kind of glass fiber. Usually, it can be divided into glass raw material composition, monofilament diameter, fiber appearance, production method and fiber characteristics. This article introduces the basics of monofilament glass fiber in detail. What are the types?
The following four aspects are introduced.
① According to the composition of glass raw materials: It is usually used in the classification of continuous glass fibers, and is distinguished by the content of different alkali metal oxides. The alkali metal oxides refer to sodium oxide and potassium oxide. In the glass raw material, it is introduced from substances such as soda ash. Alkali metal oxides are the main components of ordinary glass, and their function is to reduce the melting point of glass.
② According to the diameter of the monofilament: The glass fiber monofilament is cylindrical, so its thickness can be expressed by the diameter. Generally, the drawn glass fibers are divided into several types according to the diameter range.
③ According to the appearance of the fiber: the appearance of glass fiber, that is, its shape and length depends on its production method and its use.
④ According to the fiber characteristics: the fiber itself has some new glass fibers with special excellent properties, mainly including high-strength glass fibers, high-modulus glass fibers and conductive fibers.
