7. 🧊 Storage and Handling Recommendations

  • Store in dry, cool environment (15–30°C)

  • Avoid direct exposure to UV and moisture

  • Keep in original packaging until use

  • Use gloves to prevent skin irritation

  • Cut with sharp blades or rotary cutters for clean edges


 

8. 🧪 Resin Impregnation and Lamination

Fiberglass cloth can be used with:

  • Hand Lay-Up or Spray-Up

  • Vacuum Infusion (VARTM)

  • Pultrusion / Filament Winding

  • Prepreg Laminating (with B-stage epoxy)

The resin system can drastically influence final part properties. For high-temperature use, epoxy or phenolic systems are recommended.


 

9. ⚠️ Safety Notes

  • Handle with care to avoid skin contact or airborne fibers

  • Use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, dust mask)

  • Cut in well-ventilated area or under extraction

  • Do not burn or incinerate fiberglass cloth (glass filaments may melt and vaporize resin)


 

10. 📦 Packaging Options

  • Kraft paper rolls

  • PE film with desiccant packets

  • Palletized with edge protectors

  • Custom labels with lot tracking and specs


 

11. ❓ FAQ

Q1: Can fiberglass cloth be used outdoors?

Yes, with the right resin matrix or UV-resistant coating, it performs well under outdoor exposure.

Q2: Is fiberglass cloth waterproof?

The glass filaments themselves are inert and moisture-proof. However, the overall fabric is not a vapor barrier unless impregnated with resin.

Q3: Can it be painted?

Yes. After resin cure, the laminate can be sanded and painted using compatible coatings.

Q4: What’s the shelf life?

Stored properly, fiberglass woven cloth has an indefinite shelf life. However, epoxy prepreg versions typically have 6–12 months depending on storage conditions.

FAQ

Q :

Can fiberglass woven cloth be cut to custom widths or shapes?

UN :

Yes. Fiberglass cloth can be easily customized using industrial slitters, laser cutters, or manual trimming. For high-precision needs (e.g., PCB or aerospace applications), waterjet or CNC cutting is recommended. Manufacturers can also deliver custom-width rolls upon request.

Q :

Is fiberglass cloth safe to touch or use in indoor environments?

UN :

Generally yes, but direct handling can cause mild skin irritation due to fine glass fibers. It’s advisable to wear gloves and long sleeves. Once encapsulated in resin, the material becomes inert and safe for indoor and outdoor environments, including residential and commercial spaces.

Q :

What resin system works best with fiberglass woven cloth?

UN :

t depends on the application: Polyester/Vinyl Ester for general-purpose composites and corrosion resistance Epoxy for high-strength, aerospace, or electrical applications Phenolic for fire resistance and thermal insulation Ensure full wet-out and compatibility between resin and cloth weave.

Q :

How does fiberglass cloth behave under extreme temperatures?

UN :

Fiberglass woven cloth can withstand continuous exposure to temperatures up to 550°C (1022°F) for E-glass variants. For even higher resistance, S-glass or silica-based cloth is recommended. It retains strength and shape even under thermal cycling, making it ideal for fireproofing, insulation, or exhaust systems.

Q :

Can fiberglass woven cloth be reused or recycled?

UN :

Once impregnated with resin and cured, fiberglass composites are not easily recyclable. However, clean, unused fiberglass cloth scraps can be reused in patching, reinforcement, or molded part production. Efforts are ongoing in the industry to enhance composite recycling methods.
