What are the misconceptions about using industrial Fiberglass cloth
Publish Time: 2024-08-17
There may be the following misconceptions when using industrial fiberglass cloth:
Neglecting material property matching: Different types of glass fiber cloth have different characteristics, such as strength, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. If glass fiber cloth with suitable characteristics is not selected according to specific application scenarios and requirements during use, it may result in the material not meeting actual needs. For example, using glass fiber cloth that is not heat-resistant in high temperature environments can rapidly degrade its performance or even damage it.
Improper installation operation:
Irregular cutting: When cutting fiberglass cloth, if the size is inaccurate or the edges are not neat, it may affect the installation effect and the performance of the material. For example, cutting sizes that are too small may result in incomplete coverage of areas that require protection or enhancement; Irregular cutting edges may cause wrinkles or warping during installation, affecting aesthetics and performance.
Loose fixation: When installing fiberglass cloth, if the fixing method is incorrect or the fixing points are insufficient, the material may become loose, displaced, and other situations during use. For example, improper or uneven application of adhesive, or loose installation of screws, rivets, etc. when mechanical fixation is required, can prevent the fiberglass cloth from effectively functioning.
Insufficient protective measures: Glass fiber cloth may produce small fiber debris during processing and use. If operators do not take appropriate protective measures, such as wearing masks, gloves, goggles, etc., these fiber debris may be inhaled into the body or come into contact with the skin and eyes, posing a threat to physical health. Long term exposure may cause respiratory diseases, skin allergies, and other issues.
Improper storage conditions: Fiberglass cloth should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and sun protected environment. If the storage environment is humid, it may cause the material to become damp and moldy, affecting its performance; Direct sunlight may cause the material to age and become brittle. In addition, fiberglass cloth should be stored away from heavy pressure or folding to prevent deformation or damage.
Not familiar with usage restrictions: Each type of fiberglass cloth has its specific usage scope and limitations, such as some fiberglass cloths may not be suitable for use in certain chemical environments, or have strict requirements for temperature and humidity. If these restrictions are not fully understood before use, it may lead to problems with the materials during use and even cause safety accidents.
Overreliance on material properties: Although fiberglass cloth has many excellent properties, it is not omnipotent. In some special application scenarios, it may be necessary to use it in conjunction with other materials to achieve optimal results. If we overly rely on the performance of fiberglass cloth and neglect its synergistic effect with other materials, it may lead to poor overall results. For example, in situations where both waterproof and insulation properties are required, using only fiberglass cloth may not meet the requirements, and other waterproof and insulation materials need to be combined.
Neglecting post installation maintenance: After the installation and use of fiberglass cloth, regular inspections and maintenance may be necessary to ensure its performance and service life. For example, check for damage, aging, looseness, etc., and promptly repair or replace them. If the later maintenance is ignored, small problems may gradually accumulate and evolve into big problems, shortening the service life of fiberglass cloth.
