Common processing methods of glass fiber in plastics
Glass fiber, known as glass fiber (GF) for short in the industry, is widely used in the field of reinforced plastics. Its main components are silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, boron oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium oxide, etc. It has high mechanical strength, good insulation performance and strong chemical resistance. Its disadvantages are brittle and poor wear resistance. In the field of plastics, glass fiber can be divided into short fiber and long fiber. Short fiber is cut into about 6mm long short cut fiber by special equipment after yarn forming, and long fiber is the finished product in the form of continuous long yarn winding. The plastic modified by glass fiber can greatly improve the tensile strength and modulus of the material, and at the same time greatly improve the dimensional stability and heat resistance of the material, so that the plastic can be used in the field of engineering plastics with higher strength. In the plastic industry, glass fiber has incomparable reinforcement advantages when it is added to the plastic. However, in the plastic processing process, the reinforcement factors of glass fiber are also inseparable from the processing technology in addition to its own characteristics. Processing temperature, screw speed, screw combination, addition position and content have a great impact on glass fiber reinforcement. Only appropriate processing technology can give play to the best advantage of glass fiber in plastics. Therefore, in glass fiber reinforced plastics, the dispersion, compatibility and length retention of glass fiber in plastics are particularly important.
