The chemical composition is completely different. The fiberglass is characterized by low price, physical properties, and high carbon fiber. However, the physical properties such as tensile strength are excellent, and the biggest one is light weight.

 glass fiber:

It is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent properties. It is a glass ball or waste glass as a raw material, which is subjected to high-melting, drawing, winding, weaving, etc., and finally forms a glass fiber. The diameter of the glass fiber is from several micrometers to twenty meters, and a hair is quite a hair. From one-fifth to one-tenth the diameter of a wire, a bundle of fibers consists of hundreds of thousands of monofilaments.

Characteristics of glass fiber:

It is generally believed that glass is a fragile and hard object and is not suitable as a structural material. However, if it is drawn into a wire, the strength is greatly increased and it is soft, so that it can be an excellent structural material after changing the shape of the resin.

As the diameter of the glass fiber becomes smaller, the strength increases. These characteristics make the use of fiberglass much wider than other types of fiber. Fiberglass has the following characteristics:

High tensile strength; high elastic modulus; high impact strength; chemical resistance; low water absorption; good heat resistance; many types of processed products; transparent colloid;

　carbon fiber:

An inorganic fiber composed of carbon. The carbon content of the fiber is greater than 90%. Generally divided into three categories: ordinary, high-strength and high-model. Compared with glass fiber (GF), Young’s modulus is more than three times; compared with Kevlar fiber (KF-49), not only the Young’s modulus is about 2 times, but also in organic solvents and acids. The alkali is insoluble and inflated, and the corrosion resistance is outstanding.

Carbon fiber is a fibrous carbon material. It is a new type of material that has higher strength than steel, lower density than aluminum, corrosion resistance than stainless steel, high temperature resistance to heat resistant steel, and electrical conductivity like copper. It has electrical, thermal and mechanical properties.

Carbon fiber can be processed into fabrics, felts, mats, tapes, paper and other materials. In addition to being used as a thermal insulation material, the conventionally used medium carbon fiber is generally not used alone, and is often added as a reinforcing material to materials such as resin, metal, ceramic, concrete, etc. to form a composite material. Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials can be used as aircraft structural materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, artificial ligaments and other body substitute materials, as well as for the manufacture of rocket casings, motor boats, industrial robots, automotive leaf springs and drive shafts. Carbon fiber is widely used in civil, military, construction, chemical, industrial, aerospace and super sports cars.

Chemical composition is completely different

Carbon Fiber is made from epoxy coated and graphite woven carbonized fibers. The advantage is light weight and high tensile strength. Among all the low-density synthetic synthetic handle materials, carbon fiber may be the strongest. Carbon fiber is also a highly processed material and is therefore commonly used in high-end products.

Glass fiber (original name: glass fiber or fiberglass) is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. It has many advantages, such as good insulation, heat resistance, good corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength, but the disadvantage is sex. Crisp, poor wear resistance.
