Several major trends in the glass fiber industry

Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent properties. It is mainly produced from glass balls or used glass as the raw material through high-temperature melting, drawing, winding, weaving and other processes. With the advantages of good insulation, high heat resistance, good corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, etc., it is generally used in various fields of national economy such as reinforcing materials, electrical insulating materials, heat insulation and heat insulating materials, circuit substrates, etc. in composite materials. The development speed of China's glass fiber industry is far higher than the world average. Glass fiber production accounted for 54 in 2010 from less than 10% in the world in 2000. China is the world's largest consumer of glass fiber. In 2011, China consumed 310,000 tons of glass fiber yarn, which was a year-on-year increase of 15.28. The application of fiberglass is particularly extensive. With the increase of investment in national related industry revitalization plans and basic equipment (equipment-related windows and doors), the industry will welcome new opportunities for development. Shangpu consulted the analyst of building material industry that, with the acceleration of the pace of world industrial modernization, the development and application of the consumption technology of the glass fiber industry has been continuously expanded, and has become a new feature of the development of the industry.

Glass fiber industry development will show the following major trends:

First, the demand for the comprehensive use of glass fiber industry has become stronger. To meet different functional requirements, different components of glass fiber are required. From the point of view of development, in imagining the fibers of new functions, it is necessary to take into account both processability and functionality, and the overall performance requirements become stronger;

Second, deepen the law of research and development of new materials. To tap the new features of glass fiber, you need to start from the composition and nature to get the effect. The whole process is a more complex new material development process, which needs to be demonstrated based on its basic characteristics.

Third, we should pay attention to application technology development and post-order improvement. The advantages and disadvantages of materials are relative and there is no universal material. For a new glass fiber, attention should be paid to the post-order modification to improve the development effect of the new-functional glass fiber. According to the "2011-2016 China Fiberglass and Products Manufacturing Market Analysis In-Depth Analysis Report" published by Champion Consulting, the main application areas of glass fiber are first in the aviation field, accompanied by changes in the development market, transmission and transformation equipment (equipment-related New areas such as doors and windows, transportation, etc. are growing rapidly.
