Glass fiber spray coating equipment operation The glass fiber spray layup process is similar to the manual layup process, but the application of fiber and resin on the mold is different. Spraying is a manufacturing process of open-molded composite materials in which resin and reinforcement are spra... read more
Glass fiber paving operation A release agent, usually in wax or liquid form, is applied to the selected mold to allow clean removal of the final product from the mold. The resin (usually a two-part thermosetting polyester, vinyl or epoxy) is mixed with its hardener and applied to the surface. Put t... read more
Filament winding Filament winding is a manufacturing technique mainly used to manufacture open (cylindrical) or closed structures (pressure vessels or storage tanks). The process involves winding filaments on a male mold under tension. The mandrel rotates while the wind eye on the carriage moves ho... read more
Oil storage tank The storage tank can be made of fiberglass and has a maximum capacity of about 300 tons. Smaller tanks can be made by casting shredded felt pads on a thermoplastic inner tank, which acts as a preform during the construction process. Use woven felt or filament-wound fibers to make a ... read more
Fiberglass has become a widely used material due to its lightness, inherent strength, weather resistance and various surface textures. In the 1930s, extensive research was conducted on the development of fiber-reinforced plastics for commercial use. This is of particular interest to the aviation i... read more
