Glass fabrics are widely used in many areas such as Aerospace, LNG Vessels, Electronics, Sports and Leisure, and Construction for their excellent tensile strength, dimensional stability, electrical insulation properties, as well as heat and chemical resistance. Hankuk Composite UK is capable of producing 30 million tons annually. Its weaving machines have the capacity to meet customer’s requirements of thicknesses (0.03~0.8mm) and widths (25~3600mm).

Glass fibre has roughly comparable mechanical properties to other fibres, such as polymers and carbon fibre. Although not as rigid as carbon fibre, it is much cheaper and significantly less brittle when used in composites.

Aramid fibre is a class of heat resistant, strong synthetic fibre which is used in Aerospace and military applications for ballistic-rated body armour fabric and ballistic composites; in bicycle tyres, marine cordage, marine hull reinforcement, and as an asbestos substitute. The chain molecules in the fibres are highly oriented along the fibre axis. As a result, a higher proportion of the chemical bond contributes more to fibre strength than in many other synthetic fibres. Aramid fibre does not melt but carbonises at above 480°C.
