Alpine hut: built with glass fiber reinforced concrete slabs, left alone and independent
Alpine Shelter “Alpine Shelter”. The cottage is located on the Skuta mountain in the Alps, 2118 meters above sea level. There was originally a tin hut built in 1950 that served as a camp for climbers. The new design uses a large number of new materials-glass fiber reinforced concret...Read more -
Where is the way out for carbon fiber in the automotive field?
This problem involves the positioning of carbon fiber composites-even polymer matrix composites-in the field of modern industry. Let me quote one sentence to explain: “The end of the Stone Age did not end because the stone was used up. The era of petroleum energy will also exit early before...Read more -

Long glass fiber reinforced nylon composite instead of aluminum motor housing
Avient of Avon lake, Ohio, recently partnered with Bettcher industries, a food processing equipment manufacturer in Birmingham, Ohio, as a result of which Bettcher converted its quantum motor support yoke from metal to long glass fiber thermoplastic (LFT). Aiming to replace cast aluminum, avient ...Read more -
Fiberglass Repair
Few materials rival fiberglass. It has several advantages over steel. For example, low-volume parts made from it cost far less than steel ones. It resists more chemicals, including an abundant one that causes steel to whither away into brown dust: oxygen. Size being equal, properly made fiberglas...Read more -
Applying Fiberglass Cloth & Tape
Applying fiberglass cloth or tape to surfaces provides reinforcement and abrasion resistance, or, in the case of Douglas Fir plywood, prevents grain checking. The time to apply fiberglass cloth is usually after you’ve completed fairing and shaping, and before the final coating operation. Fibergla...Read more
