S-Glass

Glass fibres have been used as reinforcements for centuries and are still in use today in aircraft parts, automobile bodies, recreational boats, and numerous other consumer products.

S-Glass is approximately 35% higher in strength than E-Glass and has better retention of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. It also offers about one-third higher tensile strength (at a higher cost) than that of E-glass. It is the preferred choice when glass fibres are used as the reinforcement rather than carbon or aramid reinforcements.

Advantages

  • High strength properties at elevated temperatures
  • High tensile strength

Limitations

  • More expensive than E-glass
