Fibre Comparison

 

E Glass Fibre

Good compressive strength and stiffness, good tensile strength and excellent electrical properties at relatively low cost. Economical.

 

Basalt Fibre

Shows 15-12% higher tensile strength and modulus, better chemical resistance, extended operating temperature range, better environmental friendliness and recyclability than regular E glass. More economical than S Glass and Carbon.

 

Aramid Fibre

High strength, good impact, high abrasion resistance and medium stiffness.

 

Carbon Fibre

Very high strength in both tensile and compression, high stiffness and high resistance to corrosion, creep and fatigue. But poor impact strength.  Expensive
