E glass 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 yarns are manufactured as per ASTM’s standards and wound on plastic bobbins for attractive marketing. E glass 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 yarn is a continuous filament, natural, white, and lustrous that is evenly twisted on supply packages. E glass yarns are made of glass of high stability and durability and are, with the exception of sizing ingredients, inorganic, inflammable and will neither expand nor contract with moisture changes.
Glass yarn is the most resourceful industrial materials available with unlimited supply. Glass yarn possesses properties such as hardness, transparency, resistance to chemical attack, stability, inertness, strength, flexibility, and stiffness. Almost all glass yarns are general purpose products and E-glass denotes that the glass fiber has is low electric conductivity property. E glass yarns are used in many industries for a wide range of applications such as for reinforcement, filtration, insulation, or other applications. E-glass yarns available in the Asian markets contain 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 yarns were developed for various industrial applications.
According to the study “Asia E-Glass Yarn Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, electronic grade and industry grade are the two types of E-Glass yarns available in Asia. Various applications of E-Glass yarns in Asian markets are glass chemistry, coating or binder chemistry and other industries. Geographically, E-Glass Yarn in Asia market is spread across China, Japan, India, Korea, Saudi Arabia and other regions. The leading players in Asia’s E-Glass Yarn in Asia market are AGY, Saint-Gobain, PPG, Taiwan Glass, Nittobo, Sichuan Fiber Glass, Glotech Industrial, Porcher, Bohemiatex, Valmiera Glass, and Colan.
Evolution in electronic miniaturization is increasing electronics functionality in the same or smaller form factor. Demand for smartphones and tablet PCs has created demand for thinner and higher performing materials. E-Glass yarns available in Asian markets, enables development of higher performing materials to add more conducting layers of the same thickness for better performance devices. Industrialization and modernization has witnessed a drastic development in Asia’s infrastructure and economic conditions. The endless demand and consumption of E glass yarns in various industries will definitely boost the Asian markets over the next few years.
