English: Examples of glassfiller (microspheres) and glass material (cut fibers and two fabrics) for plastics reinforcement:
glass microspheres (or glass beads); diameter: about 300 µm, specific gravity: 2.5. Mineral filler mainly used to increase the stiffness of a thermoset resin and to make road safety markings;
5 mm length chopped strands of fiberglass used to reinforce thermoset resins;
fibrous reinforcements for thermoset resins: two glass fabrics with different area density; fiber orientation: 0 and 90° (most common):
and 2x2 twill (down right, area density: 280 g/m2).
Français : Exemples de charge renforçante (microsphères) et de renforts (fibres coupées et deux tissus) en verre pour les plastiques :
microsphères (ou microbilles) de verre de diamètre environ 300 µm et densité 2,5 ; charge minérale utilisée surtout pour améliorer la rigidité d'une résine thermodurcissable et pour faire des marquages routiers ;
fibres de verre (préalablement agglomérées) hachées en brins de longueur 5 mm ; utilisation comme renfort de résines thermodurcissables ;
renforts fibreux pour résines thermodurcissables et composites : deux tissus de verre de grammage différent ; orientation des fibres : 0 et 90° (cas le plus courant) :
