fiberglass
Fiberglass, also known as glass fiber, is a synthetic material made up of extremely fine fibers of glass. It is lightweight, strong, and less brittle. It has various applications, such as in insulating materials, automotive bodies, and boat hulls. The strength and insulation properties are due to the arrangement of the tiny fibers and the use of a plastic polymer to hold them together.

Fiberglass
Fiberglass is a fiber reinforced polymer made of a plastic matrix reinforced by fine fibers of glass. It is also known as GFK. Fiberglass is a lightweight, extremely strong, and robust material. Although strength properties are somewhat lower than carbon fiber and it is less stiff, the material is typically far less brittle, and the raw materials are much less expensive. Its bulk strength and weight properties are also very favorable when compared to metals, and it can be easily formed using molding processes. The plastic matrix may be epoxy, a thermosetting plastic or thermoplastic. Common uses of fiberglass include high performance aircraft, boats, automobiles, baths, hot tubs, water tanks, roofing, pipes, cladding, casts, surfboards and external door skins.
