18Gram Fiberglass Paint Arrestor Pads

Fiberglass is a composite material that’s made of very fine glass fibers. You’ll also find it going by the names glass-reinforced plastic and glass fiber plastic. This is slightly misleading as fiberglass isn’t a pure plastic, but rather one that’s reinforced with the aforementioned tiny glass fibers.

Woven together, these glass fibers are ultra strong and can be used as an insulation or coating or used all on its own as a material. You can usually see the small fibers when looking up close at an item made of fiberglass. It’s usually clear or slightly opaque with a white tone.

If you want to weigh up the advantages of fiberglass, first you’ll want to note that one of its main benefits is its strength. Actually, fiberglass has more tensile strength than steel, but it’s still lightweight. It’s a great material if you need something that’s resistant to weather, water, and corrosive chemicals. It’s not conductive or magnetic, which earns it points when it comes to insulation and using it around other kinds of materials. You’ll also find that fiberglass doesn’t rust, shrink, burn, or expand, making it durable and long-lasting.

Any material will have its limits though, including fiberglass. One of the disadvantages you may find with using it is that it’s expensive, especially when compared to non-composite materials. Fiberglass is also hard to get rid of and doesn’t biodegrade, which isn’t ideal if you’re invested in sustainable practices. If you have employees working with fiberglass, it can be hazardous to touch and breath in if the right safety equipment isn’t worn. With too much sunlight, you may also find that fiberglass fades.
