Abstract
Fiberglass is by far the world’s most important continuous inorganic composite reinforcing fiber. It outsells continuous carbon fibers, boron fibers, and ceramic fibers by a wide margin. Typical general and special purpose fiber compositions contain >50% silica. Commodity or general purpose products are characterized by universal applicability, large sales volumes, and low unit cost. They represent nearly 99% of the commercial fiber glass market. The remaining glass fibers are niche or special purpose products, characterized by special, and therefore premium, properties, small sales volumes, and high unit costs. They represent 1% of the fiber glass market.
