NQ FIBERGLASS FABRIC PRODUCTION PROCESS
1. Raw Materials
We use high-quality raw materials for producing fiberglass fabric. Our fiberglass yarns are sourced from Monolith Group, the world’s largest producer, including brands like Saint-Gobain. These yarns are 20% stronger than standard fiberglass yarns, ensuring superior performance.
2. Twisting Process
We use an automated twister for precise twist regulation and stable yarn output. Additionally, a combination of tension and yarn guide devices ensures uniform tension and stable yarn pathways during the twisting process.
3.Weaving Process
The fiberglass yarn is woven on a high-speed rapier loom to create flat unidirectional or multidirectional reinforced fabric. We use tension magnetic separators to alleviate warp distortion caused by changes in tension, resulting in a strong and flexible cloth.
4. Coating Process
Before surface coating, the fiberglass cloth is pretreated to improve adhesion between the fabric and the subsequent coatings. One or more intermediate layers are applied over the primer. The top coat is the final layer in the coating process, with common types including acrylic, polyurethane, and fluorocarbon paints.
5. Drying And Curing
After the coating process, it is usually necessary to cure the coating to ensure that the resin or paint fully hardens, forming a durable protective layer. Curing methods can include natural drying, heat curing, or UV curing, depending on the specific requirements of the coating material.

Glass fiber fabrication process and thickness.
The manufacturing process of glass fiber is a complex one that involves multiple steps, including raw material preparation, melting, fiber formation, fiber treatment, collection and finishing, subsequent processing, and quality control. In this process, the selected glass raw materials are first crushed and screened, then heated to a molten state in a high-temperature furnace. Next, the molten glass is drawn into fine fiber streams through rotating spinnerets or nozzles, and further stretched and elongated by high-speed jets. Following this, the fiber bundles undergo cooling, coating, or oiling processes to enhance their flexibility, strength, and prevent breakage and tangling. Finally, the fibers are collected and finished into rolls or packages for further processing and use.
Regarding the thickness of glass fibers, it varies depending on the specific application requirements. Common thickness specifications include 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, and so on. The choice of which thickness to use depends on the operating environment and functional requirements. For instance, glass fiber cloths and tapes typically have thinner thicknesses, while glass fiber tubes may require thicker walls to withstand higher pressures and loads.
