You will find information on all types of fibreglass products and repairs under this heading in Yellow™. Fibreglass is a dense material comprising fine fibres of glass. Fibreglass is a bad conductor of heat and fire. Due to this property, fibreglass is used in boat hulls and building insulation. Another important quality of fibreglass is that it transmits light around curves. Hence, fibre optics have fibreglass as one of the components. Yellow™ contains a comprehensive list of fibreglass products and repairs across Australia.
Fibreglass is used in various items such as battery boxes, ventilation panels, turnstiles, fan housing assembly, spectator seating, murals, tables, pipes and lining, boat dash cowlings, custom planter boxes, onsite bunding. In addition, fibreglass is also being used in the manufacture of vehicle bodies. The shiny face of the fibreglass is called gelcoat. Gelcoats comprise a gel-like, thick resin mixed with a coloured substance. Fibreglass comes in various forms, such as tissue, mat, cloth. Fibreglass has to be cleaned on a daily basis to avoid oxidation.
For vehicles that are made up of fibreglass, wax can be used as a protection against environmental corrosive agents. Fibreglass polish is also available in the market. This polish is similar in action to the wax and forms a coat on the outer surface thereby protecting it. Fibreglass insulation gives an itchy feeling when touched and you may develop a rash after a while. The insulation fibreglass is different from the fibreglass used in the locomotive or automotive industry. The fumes from the resin and the itchiness of the fibreglass make working with fibreglass a very unpleasant business.
