- Characteristics of S-Glass
S-fiberglass offers much higher tensile strength and elastic modulus as well as about 10% greater stiffness. Other key characteristics include excellent temperature resistance, good moisture resistance, and long fatigue and shelf lives. These qualities make it suitable for use in demanding applications. For example, it is commonly used in the aerospace industry for cargo liners, gaskets, and other interior components.
S-glass is available in a variety of weave patterns. Some of the best patterns for the fabric are:
- Plain weave: consists of fibers interlaced in an alternating over/under pattern
- Basket weave: consists of two or more fibers interlaced in an alternating over/under pattern
- Leno: consists of two or more warp fibers crossed over each other and interlaced with one or more fill fibers
- 8H satin: consists of one fill fiber floating over seven warp fibers and under one
