1. Different types of glass fibers

Glass in the form of glass fibers is a widely used material for reinforcing plastics and cement-based materials due to specific properties, especially glass fiber mechanical properties, high electrical resistivity, and thermal and chemical inertia. Additionally, unlike natural fibers such as flax, hemp... glass fibers are inert in humid environments and do not mold.

These glass fibers are used in multiple applications (interior & exterior building, automotive, aeronautics, Marine, infrastructure, energy, leisure...) for their ease of shaping and their intrinsic thermal, electrical & mechanical properties (Figure  1 ).
