SCOPE

Glass fibres are used in ever increasing variety for a wide range of application, each vital to modern society. Consequently there has been a strong need for a systematic compilation of those engaged in their manufacture, supply· and distribution, plus an all-important associated listing of properties under a number of standard material classifications.

This Data Book provides a comprehensive answer to that need. It covers commercially available glass fibres, whether employed for reinforcement, filtration, insulation, optical or other applications. Part One, the Directory Section, provides a listing pf manufacturers, their sales offices, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates, complete with address, tetephone and facsimile number. Part Two, the Data Section then tabulates the major properties and relevant supply details, of all the different grades of glass:fibre available through the sources listed in Part One.

This Glass Fibre Data Book will be an invaluable source of information for all those concerned with gJassfibres, whether design or research and development engineers, whether specifiers, purchase managers or others such as university professors and teaching staff. The comprehensive information provided within its pages, will enable anyone having an interest or involvement with glass fibre materials, to make the best choice of those available worldwide, to satisfy in a totally optimum manner, each specific application requirement.

REVIEW

Glass fibre is one - if not the most versatile of - the materials now worked and employed by man. Suitable confirmation is provided by the pages of this Data Book, showing the now widespread, vital cost-effective and important use of glass fibre across the whole spectrum of industry. Whether as one of many forms of reinforcement, as fabrics or other products for acoustic, electrical and thermal insulation,for filtration, or more recently for the rapidly increasing utilisation iil its continuous, optical form for telecommunication and signalling, glass fibre has no equal.

However the variety of basic formulation, type and grade now available, is far removed from a recent development. The art of spinning glass into fine filaments - or fibres - has at its basis, expertise known for example to the craftsmen of ancient Egypt. There is good evidence of their use of crude glass fibres as the strengthening component of decorative and other artifacts fabricated from naturally occurring resins and glues.

To advantage, the required raw materials are present in virtually unlimited supply, readily and economically obtained from widely available indigenous inorganic ores. But glass has a purity of formulation, technology and design, as suitably exampled by the multiplicity of product from the simple to the sophisticated, from commercial to advanced. It also covers other items such as window glass and glassware. Finally as demanded by the application, each alternative glass fibre product can be supplied in differing condition, open to different post-spinning treatment.

Such wide-ranging complexity has demanded for glass fibre materials, an ease of specification identification, provided for - as shown by a large proportion of the tabulations within the Directory Section of this Data Book - by the use of an alphabetic and numeric code. A correct under­standing of this system, together with associated material and product descriptions, is essential if those concerned in any way with the use of glass fibre materials, are to ensure careful product selection. However whilst universally adopted for yarn products, the coding does continue to show variation, typically respective to the mensuration system employed by the country of yarn manufacture or supply.

Glass of the desired chemical formulation, as described by these first letter code examples,

C E

--' R (& 5)

.. Chemical resistant* - 'Electrical' grade - High strerigth grade

* Original formulation, now more exclusive to yarns

which are identical to both variants, is continuously drawn - or spun - by high speed precision winders from platinum bushings. These bushings, numbering several score to more typically several hundreds, therefore dictate the number of individual glass filaments from. which the basic fibre 'strand' (or filament bundle) is then produced. A second letter ·C" indicates continuous filaments, with the alternatives "T· or ·5" (or in the teX/metric system, ·D"), describing respectively either a 'textured' or 'staple' product.

The filament diameter follows, identified if using1he metric system by a number denoting microns, (to the nearest whole number), or if in inches, by a descriptive letter.

C 0.000175" D ·0.000225" DE 0.000250" E 0.000275· G 0.000375" H 0.000425" K 0.000525"

A number quantifying the strand weight (Le 'tex'/metric system), or count (i.e. the US or imperial system), comes next. The former figure relates to grams per 1000 metres of yarn, the (atter to one hundredth of the nominal bare glass yardage in one pound of the basic yarn strand.

If employing the US system, a second number composed of two digits separated by a hash, shows the quantity of basic strands in the yarn, where the first digit represents the original number of twisted strands and the second, the quantity of these strands plied (or twisted) together. In this case the total number of strands is therefore given by multiplying both digits; a zero is always counted as 1. If employing the tex/metric system, then the yarn construction from these twisted strands is. shown by a third number (immediately after that for the diameter), which indicates the number of strands in the yarn. A second digit after an ·X· indicates the number of these strands twisted or plied together. In both Situations, the letters ·5· or ·Z· describe the direction of the visible spiral/helix pattern of twist in the yarn, when held in a vertical fashion.

A final number denotes either the number of turns per inch or the number per metre, in the finished yarn. Yarn is therefore an assembly of fibres, of similar or variable length, held together by twisting. Yarns are used to weave fabrics. An 'end' is a thread, yarn or tow etc., running along the length of the fabric (the 'warp'), whereas the 'pick' is a thread,

vii

yarn or tow etc., running across the width of a fabric.

Fibres, yarns and fabrics also employ the term 'denier', meaning the weight in grams of 9000 metres of a yarn (or tow, or roving). 'Denier'therefore equals 9 x 'tex', or using the US system, yards per pound is converted to 'denier' by dividing a constant number, 4,464,492 by the yards per pound.

As a summary of the coding system and to aid clarification, the following variations can all equally apply.

During the drawing and spinning process, each strand is chemically treated by a 'size' whose purpose is to protect each individual glass fibre filament from breakage or other less serious damage during further processing.

The thickness, weight, construction and finish (i.e. resin matrix compatibility), of fabrics woven from this wide variety of glass yarn, is variable over a wide spectrum, as is the style of that weaving. The weave style of a fabric has - like the yarn itself - a great influence on the properties of the woven fabric composed of warp and weft (fill) yarns. For whatever purpose the fabric is to be employed, careful selection is therefore essential. The following diagrams indicate some of the more common style variations possible.

Plain Each warp end and weft pick passes over one crossing thread

and under the next.
