IS FIBERGLASS A HEALTH HAZARD? 2008-10-29 20:12:24 Everyone has heard about the association between lung cancer and asbestos. Since some forms of asbestos are similar in appearance to fiberglass fibers, many people wonder if handling fiber-glass could also result in the development of cancer or other serious health hazards. Scientists have made over 400 studies of fiberglass in an attempt to answer [...]
Safety of Fiber Glass Insulation 2008-10-28 20:12:40 Fiber glass is categorized within a group of man-made materials historically referred to as man-made vitreous fibers, now known as synthetic vitreous fibers (SVFs). It is made from natural ingredients like molten sand and large amounts of recycled glass products such as bottles, window glass, and industrial plate glass. Most commonly used as insulation, fiber [...] Read more:Fiber

Facts About Fiberglass 2008-10-26 21:17:01 What is Fiberglass
Fiberglass is a man-made product that is composed of natural ingredients such as sand and recycled products such as window glass and bottles. The ingredients are melted and spun to create small strands of fiberglass that together form “glass wool”.
Fiberglass insulation has been used since the 1930s and is now the most widely [...]

Casting Off From Fiberglass: A Boat Made From a New Plastic 2008-10-19 20:23:05 The traditional method of building boats — out of wood, and by hand — gave way 30 years ago to boats made of fiberglass in manufacturing plants. Now, the marine industry is building boats with sophisticated plastics intended to make watercraft stronger but lighter in weight.

Fiberglass Insulation: Use With Care 2008-11-05 18:39:53 Fiberglass, also know as ‘glass wool’, is simply glass that is in the shape of thin threads. Because of their small diameter, fibers of glass are very flexible. However, they can still be broken, and like a broken window, they are capable of cutting the body, although the cuts will be very small.
Technically, fiberglass is [...]
