Fiberglass is widely used to manufacture products for industries such as wiring for the telephone, Internet or television. In addition, other utilities that fiberglass has is the manufacture of industrial containers for storage, tanks or thermal and acoustic insulation systems. It is also used as a material to reinforce sculptures.
Fiberglass has more and more presence in the market, as well as in our daily lives, although many are not really aware of it.
From Feroca we put at your disposal a wide variety of materials and products, and as it could not be less, we also offer you a whole selection of fiberglass and reinforcement fabrics.
If we go to its more technical explanation, fiberglass consists of glass filaments that are joined together due to the emulsion. They are shaped like a blanket or fabric.
The fiberglass that we put at your disposal from Feroca is a fiberglass of very high quality.
In addition, apart from all the uses that we have mentioned above, and on which we will now stop in greater depth, fiberglass can also be combined with materials such as Polyester Resin or Epoxy Resin to obtain parts of greater tensile strength.
Fiberglass is a material that has grown exponentially within the industrial sector in recent years because it presents a number of very promising characteristics . These features are:
There are different types of fiberglass present in the market and they can be presented with different shapes such as tapes, putties or gaskets. However, from Feroca we put at your disposal we put at your disposal a whole selection of glass or mat fibers so you can find the one that best suits your needs. You can find fiberglass in mat format, in fabric, in threads cut from fiberglass and four-dimensional glass fabric.

The biggest advantages of using fiberglass are:
For industries that develop their services with corrosive elements, it is essential to have materials as resistant as fiberglass.
This amount of time is very high, so fiberglass is a great investment.
If we think about fiberglass, we think of its application in different industries. You may like to know some of the applications in industrial sectors that make use of the different uses of fiberglass as a very resistant material.
The use of fiberglass is very simple. For example, if you are making a mold and a silicone countermold and you want to reinforce it, once you have made the silicone countermold, you will only have to apply the fiberglass previously cut into squares around the entire countermold with a brush bathed in resin to achieve a much more resistant and reinforced final product.
Once the resin and countermold fiber have dried for about three hours, it is time to sand everything well, so that the fiberglass is very smooth and there is no puncture when handling the countermold. Once sanded, little by little the silicone is separated from the countermold.
The mold is then removed from the countermold and the silicone skin is separated from the original part. This way you will get a very reinforced countermold that will serve you for later occasions.
If you need to buy fiberglass or reinforcement fabric, in Feroca we offer you a wide range of these materials that fit all types of elaboration or repair project.
However, if you still have doubts about the application of fiberglass, you can contact us. We will be happy to help and advise you.
