    The document compares the properties of various fiberglass compositions. It discusses 7 main compositions: A, C, D, E, E-CR, R, and S & S2. The compositions have different chemical properties based on their chemical makeup which impacts their corrosion resistance and durability. They also have varying physical properties like density, tensile strength, and modulus. Properties like softening point, thermal expansion, and dielectric constant also differ between the compositions depending on their intended applications such as reinforcement or electrical performance.

    Fiberglass Compositions and Their Comparative Properties

    Fiberglass composition Description, definition and characterization. A Typical soda-lime silica glass, limited for reinforcement owing to poor resistance to water.
    C Chemical glasspossesses improved durability, making it preferred composition for applications requiring corrosion resistance. D Glass with improved dielectric
    strength and low density, developed for improved electrical performance. E Borosilicate type, used for major share of all reinforcement applications. E-CR Modified E
    glass having superior long term resistance to strain crack corrosion in acid conditions. R High-strength, high-modulus glass at a lower cost than S. S & S2 Glass with
    high tensile strength and modulus, developed for aerospace applications
