Specialty Fiberglass
Specialty Fiberglass is a form of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber. It is lightweight, strong, and less brittle.
Fiberglass can be molded into many complex shapes and is widely used in wind turbine blades, aircraft, boats, bathtubs, etc.
Market Needs
Manufacturing fiberglass requires pure raw materials to obtain uniform glass and consistent, high-quality fibers.
Impurities in raw materials can also cause damage to equipment, such as clogged bushings, leading to production downtime.
Solutions
Quicklime
- One of the raw materials used in fiberglass production
- Help reduce gas bubbles in the molten glass during the melting stage and fiber breakage during the forming stage
- High purity, which helps minimize clogged bushings and meets calcium composition specification
