What are the characteristics of glass fiber tube and carbon fiber tube?

Fiber tubes are very common in applications, and there are many materials that can be used to make fiber tubes. What are the characteristics of carbon fiber tube and glass fiber tube?

Glass itself is a reinforcing material, and typically, epoxy is extruded into the substrate to make fiberglass tubes. Fiberglass pipe has a series of advantages such as high strength, corrosion resistance, friction resistance, insulation and antistatic. If it can be used in the environment of -40~150℃, the fiberglass pipe can withstand the high temperature of 180℃. in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering.

After the carbon precursor is impregnated with resin, the carbon fiber tube is extruded or wound, and the surface of the compressed carbon fiber rod has no particles. Depending on the winding method, the surface will appear plain and textured. Carbon fiber tubes are light in weight and are superior to glass fiber tubes in terms of strength, stiffness, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and they are used in automobile manufacturing, medical equipment, industrial production, sports equipment and other fields.

Generally speaking, carbon fiber tube is much better than glass fiber tube, with low cost of glass fiber, high market share, high light transmittance of glass fiber, and good insulation performance. These characteristics cannot replace carbon fiber products in some fields, and the cost of carbon fiber is high, It has a wide range of applications, but the penetration rate is not high.

The glass fiber pipe industry has broad market prospects. The molding process of glass fiber pipe is to immerse glass fiber filaments in resin, then solidify in a high-speed polymerization device integrating light and heat, and then stretch and stretch to extrude. Therefore, they are called polyester glass, epoxy glass and phenolic glass. Fiberglass pipes have the characteristics of light weight, hardness, non-conductivity, high mechanical strength, aging resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. Due to their unique advantages, fiberglass pipes have been widely used in petroleum, electric power, chemical industry, papermaking, and urban drainage. , factory sewage treatment, seawater desalination, gas transportation and other industries. It is much better than traditional products in terms of performance, use, and life. With its easy modeling, customizability, and free color adjustment, it is well received by merchants and sellers, occupying more and more market scores, and has a bright future!
