GLASS FIBER SUBTITUTES ASBESTOS

deasy-world
World in my mind - Nowadays Glass Fiber or more commonly Fiberglass subtitutes Asbestos for better improvement in choosing materials. Fiberglass has increased in popularity since the discovery that asbestos  causes cancer and its subsequent removal from most products. However, the safety of fiberglass is also being called into question, as research shows that the composition of this material (asbestos and fiberglass are both silicate fibers) causes similar toxicity as asbestos.

Uses for regular fiberglass include mats, thermal insulation, electrical insulation, sound insulation, reinforcement of various materials, tent poles, sound absorption, heat- and corrosion-resistant fabrics, high-strength fabrics, pole vault poles, arrows, bows and crossbows, translucent roofing panels, automobile bodies, hockey sticks, surfboards, boat hulls, and paper honeycomb. It has been used for medical purposes in casts. Fiberglass is extensively used for making FRP tanks and vessels. Fiberglass is also used in the design of Irish stepdance shoes.

Thanks for being here in World in My Mind..share thoughts, wide knowledge, spreading Love and respect, together build a world in differences.
