Fiberglass is a strong, lightweight material widely used in many products. While not as strong and rigid as carbon fiber composites, it is less brittle and the raw materials are more affordable. It also offers better bulk strength and weight than many metals and is easier to form into complex shapes. Depending on its intended use, fiberglass is made from different types of glass. These glasses all contain silica or silicates, as well as varying amounts of calcium and magnesium oxides, and sometimes boron.
Description
Filmedia® offers a wide variety of sewing threads suitable for a variety of materials and applications. These threads offer excellent abrasion resistance, smooth and easy sewing, high tensile strength, and excellent formability at competitive prices. Customization is also available.
Advantages of Fiberglass Sewing Thread
- High Strength: Fiberglass sewing thread has high tensile strength and abrasion resistance, allowing it to withstand high tension and heavy loads, making it suitable for projects requiring high-strength seams.
- Corrosion Resistance: Fiberglass sewing thread exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and oils, enabling it to withstand long-term use in harsh environments.
- High-Temperature Resistance: Fiberglass sewing thread can withstand high temperatures, typically up to 500°C, making it suitable for sewing in high-temperature environments.
- Flame Retardancy: Fiberglass sewing thread is inherently non-flammable and exhibits excellent flame retardant properties, reducing the risk of fire.
Flame-Retardant PTFE-Coated Stranded Fiberglass Sewing Thread
PTFE-coated fiberglass sewing thread is ideal for use in removable insulation covers and other custom-shaped packaging requiring heat and moisture protection. Made from 100% ultra-fine fiberglass loops coated with non-stick PTFE, it offers excellent heat resistance, insulation, fire resistance, and aging resistance. Its excellent thermal insulation and abrasion resistance enable it to withstand continuous temperatures of 280°C (536°F) and transient temperatures of 600°C (1100°F).
