The development history of glass fiber - looking at the world

From the emergence of new things to their maturity, almost all need to go through a process, in which they are constantly optimized and improved to make new things better presented.

Fiberglass layer, there will be such a layer in many PVC flooring structures. And when did glass fiber appear? Looking at the world, what is the development history of glass fiber?

▶Fiberglass should have originated in the United States in the 1930s.

In 1938, OC became the first glass fiber company in the world. It adopted the production technology of drawing continuous glass fiber from a platinum crucible, which realized large-scale production of glass fiber and contributed to the development of modern glass fiber manufacturing industry. A certain foundation has been laid.

During World War II, glass fiber was mainly used in the aviation industry, such as: aircraft radomes, auxiliary fuel tanks, etc.

After the end of World War II, the material of glass fiber gradually extended to rocket engine casings, ship materials and other fields, and was gradually used in large quantities in civil fields such as transportation, construction, wind power, electronics, etc., and its scope of use can be said to be expanding day by day.

▶In 1958, the United States took the lead in producing glass fiber by using the pool kiln drawing method. This production technology greatly improved the production scale and efficiency of glass fiber.

▶In the 1960s, with the development of industry, high-strength, high-modulus glass fibers were studied by changing the glass composition.

▶After the 1970s, with the application of various reinforced sizing agents, reinforced glass fiber products have been greatly developed in composite materials.

In the long years, through the continuous optimization of glass fiber through advanced and high technology, the production scale has been expanding day by day, and the application range has become wider and wider. As one of the layers in the PVC structure diagram, the glass fiber layer is very important for improving the performance of PVC flooring. Stability plays a huge role.
