Fabric

Fiberglass fabric is the primary product manufactured by HARSHDEEP Industries. HARSHDEEP began weaving fiberglass fabric in 1993 and has continued to grow over the years to become one of the leading producers of fiberglass fabric in india and worldwide. Fiberglass fabric is a strong and durable woven textile generally used for non-apparel applications.

Fiberglass Fabric Configurations

Fiberglass fabric is woven in various configurations and constructions from five basic weave patterns: plain, leno, satin, and basket. Fiberglass fabric is available in widths from ½� for narrow tape styles to 100� for broad woven fiberglass fabric. Fiberglass fabric is sold in rolls ranging in length from 50 mtrs to 1,000 mtrs. Prices for fiberglass fabric are calculated per linear meters and kgs according to width and quantity purchased.

Fiberglass Fabric Finishes

HARSHDEEP's fiberglass fabric is available with a special finish applied or untreated. The finishing process adds value to the final product as well as performs a necessary function for further processing. A variety of finishes are available depending on the customer's resin system and processing requirements. HARSHDEEP's finishes for fiberglass fabric are developed by our experienced team of research & development chemists and are proprietary in nature. These finishes provide multiple benefits, some of which are listed below:

• Chemical resistant
• Acid resistant
• Alkali resistant
• Compatibility with epoxy, phenolic, and polyimide resin systems
• Water repellent
• Weaveset for added stiffness
• Heat cleaned and scoured for removal of binders
• Flame retardant
• “Painted look� for ceiling tiles
• Colors
• Teflon® B for filtration fabric

Fiberglass Fabric For Everyday Products

Fiberglass fabric can be found in many products used every day, but we seldom realize they are present. Fiberglass fabrics are generally found hidden beneath composite materials or other layers or so that they are not visible to the eye, yet provide the support system that adds strength and stability to the product while not substantially increasing the weight. Fiberglass fabric is used in applications where high heat is present and strength and dimensional stability are important. Peak beneath a carpet tile, cut inside a computer circuit board, or examine a conveyor belt, and you'll see an example of an industrial fabric. When weight, strength, temperature, and durability are critical considerations, engineers turn to solutions from HARSHDEEP's fiberglass fabric.

Properties of Fiberglass cloth

Woven fiberglass cloth offers the widest range and the best control over thickness, weight and strength of all forms of fiberglass textiles. This offers the materials engineer a wide choice of controlled fabric properties to satisfy design needs and objectives. In general, woven fiberglass cloth has the following properties:

High Tensile Strength:
Fiberglass cloth is one of the strongest textile fibers, having greater specific tensile strength than steel wire of the same diameter, at a lower weight.

Dimensional Stability:
Fiberglass cloth has low elongation under load, generally 3% or less. Glass fibers produce fabrics with excellent dimensional stability under various types of conditions.

High Heat Resistance:
Fiberglass cloth has excellent heat resistance at relatively low cost. Fiberglass cloth retains approximately 50% of room temperature tensile strength at 700°F (371°C); approximately 25% at 900°F (482°C); with a softening point of 1555°F (846°C) and a melting point of 2075° F (1121 °C).

Fire Resistance:
Fiberglass cloth is composed of inorganic materials, and are noncombustible, a natural choice where flammability is of concern.

Good Thermal Conductivity:
The rapid heat dissipation of fiberglass cloth is particularly important in electrical insulation applications.

Good Chemical Resistance:
Like glass itself, fiberglass cloth is highly resistant to attack by most chemicals.

Outstanding Electrical Properties:
Fiberglass fabric withstands high temperature and has low moisture regain. Along with its high dielectric strength and low dielectric constant, glass is of major importance and usefulness in the electronics.

Durability:
Being inert, fiberglass cloth is unaffected by sunlight, fungus or bacteria.

Economical:
Fiberglass cloth is lower in cost than many other fabrics for similar applications.
