Industrialization and Modernization to Enhance Asia E Glass Fiber Yarn Industry-Ken Research


According to the study “Asia E Glass Fiber Yarn Industry Situation And Prospects Research Report”, E glass fiber yarns consist of a defined number of E-glass filaments of a certain nominal diameter and are brought together to form a yarn. The structure of yarn is fixed and protected by a size and a slight twist, generally in Z-direction for better results. E glass fiber yarns are manufactured as per ASTM’s standards and wound on plastic bobbins for attractive marketing. E glass fiber yarns possess properties such as low thermal conductivity, fire resistance, compatibility with organic matrices, electric insulation, dimensional stability, and are three times higher resistance than steel. E glass fiber yarns are used in technical textiles for construction, electrical and electronics, industry, transportation and many more.

Glass Fibers are among the most resourceful industrial materials available. These materials are produced from raw materials that are easily available with unlimited supply. Almost all the glass fibers are derived from compositions containing silica. Glass fibers exhibit properties such as hardness, transparency, resistance to chemical attack, stability, and inertness along with fiber properties such as strength, flexibility, and stiffness. These fibers are used in the manufacture of structural composites, printed circuit boards and a wide range of special purpose products. The fiber forming processes involves fusing (co-melting) silica with minerals that contain oxides. The molten mass is rapidly cooled to prevent crystallization and formed into glass fiber which is known as fiberization.

Glass fibers are categorized into two types such as low-cost general purpose fibers and premium special purpose fibers. Almost all glass fibers are general purpose products. These fibers are known by their designations such as E-glass which are subjected to ASTM specifications. E denoted that the glass fiber has is low electric conductivity property. General purpose glass fibers or E glass fiber yarn are used in many industries for a wide range of applications. E-glass fiber yarn is employed for reinforcement, filtration, insulation, or other applications.  The other special purpose glass fibers are S-glass, D-glass, A-glass, ECR-glass, ultrapure silica fibers, hollow fibers, and trilobal fibers. There are many types of E-glass fiber yarns available in the market which contains boron oxide in negligible amounts. Therefore, elimination of boron oxide is a must with the already established stringent environmental regulations. Therefore, environmentally friendly boron-free E-glass fiber yarns are developed.

E glass fiber yarns are used in automotive applications due to their high tensile strength, temperature resistance and dimensional stability. Impregnated glass cords are used in the reinforcement of rubber drive belts in automotive applications, aluminium foil backed woven or braided tubes using E glass fiber yarns to protect wiring harnesses, tubing from heat and abrasion, clutch discs and brake pads are reinforced with woven fiber glass to maintain the integrity of the composite in a hot and abrasive environment. E glass fiber yarns are used in medical sector for the production of either circular or flat knitted woven fabrics used for castings and tapes, orthotic products and bandages. These fiber products replace plaster casts. In sports sector, E glass fiber yarns are used in the manufacture of hockey sticks, snow skis, snowboards, skateboards, water skis, wakeboards, paddle boards, baseball bats and various marine applications.

Twisted E glass fiber yarns are used in lightweight constructions within wind energy industry for multiple wind energy applications. Rotor blades and nacelles are manufactured from resin compatible E glass fiber yarns. Fiber glass composite consists of high strength and low weight that can be used for more efficient rotor blades in a cost effective way. The various technologies used in the manufacture of E glass fiber yarns are braiding, coating, finishing, knitting, laid scrim, multiaxial, texturizing, voluminizing, warping, beaming, weaving and other technologies.

Geographically, E glass fiber yarns market in Asia is spread across China, India, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia and other regions. The market is categorized based on yarns such as single yarns, multi-end yarns, coated yarns, texturized yarns, and others. the various applications of E glass fiber yarns are in decoration, electrical insulation, fire proofing applications, glass chemistry, coating or binding chemistry, and others. The leading players in E glass fiber yarn in Asia are Saint-Gobain /Vetrotex, PPG Industries, Inc., Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM), AGY, Culimeta, Hiltex, BTTO s.r.o., Valmiera Glass Group, Taiwan Glass, Nittobo, Sichuan Fiber Glass, Glotech Industrial, Porcher and Valmiera Glass.
Industrialization and modernization has witnessed a drastic development in Asia’s infrastructure and economies. The endless demand and consumption of E glass fiber yarns in various industries will definitely boost the market for E glass fiber yarns in Asia over the next few years.
