How does Medium Alkali Plain Weave Fabric differ from other types of fiberglass fabrics?
Publish Time: 2024-07-08
Compared with other types of glass fiber cloth, medium alkali plain weave fabric is significantly different in many aspects. Here are some of the main differences:
1. Composition and alkali content
Medium alkali plain weave fabric: contains high alkali metal oxides such as calcium oxide and sodium oxide, and its alkali metal oxide content is usually within a specific range, such as 12±0.4%. This composition makes medium alkali plain weave fabric unique in chemical stability and high temperature resistance.
Other types of glass fiber cloth: such as alkali-free glass fiber cloth, its alkali metal oxide content is extremely low and almost contains no sodium oxide. This difference leads to differences in their chemical stability and high temperature resistance.
2. Performance characteristics
High temperature resistance: Medium alkali plain weave fabric can usually withstand higher temperatures, such as up to 540℃ (even higher in some cases, such as medium alkali coarse grid plain weave glass fiber cloth can withstand up to 1000℃), and has good heat deformation resistance. Alkali-free glass fiber cloth can remain stable in the temperature range below 800℃.
Chemical stability: Medium alkali plain weave fabric has good chemical stability, can resist erosion and corrosion by a variety of chemicals, and is suitable for long-term use in corrosive environments. In contrast, alkali-free glass fiber cloth is prone to corrosion in strong acid and alkali environments.
Other properties: Medium alkali plain weave fabric also has the characteristics of flame retardancy, high strength, high heat deformation resistance, good durability and stability. These properties give Medium alkali plain weave fabric unique advantages in industrial applications.
3. Application fields
Medium alkali plain weave fabric: Due to its high temperature resistance and chemical stability, Medium alkali plain weave fabric is widely used in construction, electronics, aerospace and other fields. For example, in the construction field, it is often used in scenes such as wall insulation, roof waterproofing, sound insulation and heat insulation; in the electronics field, it is used as sensors, circuit boards, insulation materials, etc.; in the aerospace field, it can be used to manufacture thermal insulation layers, shells and other components of spacecraft.
Other types of glass fiber cloth: such as alkali-free glass fiber cloth, are widely used in the manufacture of light industrial products such as electronic equipment, automobiles, and aircraft due to their superior electrical insulation.
In summary, there are significant differences between Medium Alkali Plain Weave Fabric and other types of glass fiber cloth in terms of composition, performance characteristics, and application areas. These differences make Medium Alkali Plain Weave Fabric uniquely advantageous and valuable in specific industrial applications.
