Fiberglass

Fiber glass is a type of glass that is composed of fine, strand-like fibers. It is made by melting glass and then drawing it out into thin strands. Fiberglass is used in a variety of industries, including the wind turbine and hydro energy industries.

At MM Composite, we use this material in many different productions, and thus, we have great experience within this. Fiberglass production typically begins with the gathering of raw materials. Silica sand, soda ash, limestone, and dolomite are pumped into a furnace where they are melted at high temperatures. Once the materials are melted, they are drawn out into thin strands and cooled. The resulting fiberglass strands are then spun into yarns, which can be used to create a variety of products.

Fiberglass is an essential material in the wind turbine industry, as it is used to create the blades for wind turbines. Fiberglass is also used in the hydro energy industry to make the turbine blades for hydroelectric power plants. Fiberglass blades are noticeably lighter than their metal counterparts, making them easier to transport and install. In addition, fiberglass is less likely to corrode or degrade over time.

Fiberglass is an extremely versatile material that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is strong, durable, and resistant to heat and corrosion. Furthermore, it is low cost and light weight make, which is an ideal choice for us to use in wind turbines and hydro energy productions. As a result, fiberglass is less likely to corrode or degrade over time, making it a more durable option for use in these industries.
