Fibreglass Cloth E-Glass

E-GLASS CLOTH

E-Glass cloth is woven from fine yarns of 
twist and ply construction with the actual 
glass being a
lime-alumina borosilicate glass 
of low alkali content. This glass composition 
offers ample flexural and tensile
strengths, 
high chemical stability and high moisture 
resistance. The cloth weave allows it to 
conform to curved
surfaces with minimum 
fitting. E-Glass cloth if categorized by 
weight per square yard and is sold by 
the running
foot. An E-Glass cloth tape 
with finished edges is also available and 
is sold by bulk by the 125 yard roll.
This
cloth is used for the building of cedar
strip canoes.It?s also use in the repair of 
fiberglass hulls.

Caution:

Contact with fibrous glass may cause 
temporary irritation. Recommend long sleeved,
loose fitting clothing when
handling the 
material. Gloves and eye protection may
be appropriate in certain operations. 
Wash with soap and warm
water after
handling. A disposable mask designed for
nuisance-type dust is adviable where high 
dust levels may be
encountered.

When sanding fibreglass that has been applied
using epoxy resin, if the resin has been curing
less
than 7 days then a charcoal filter mask with 
dust filters should be used. After epoxy resin has 
cured for 8 days the
dust is inert and a regular 
dust mask can be used.
