Strong resin for fibreglass

Engineering Asked by Bohemian on February 26, 2021

Is there a binding material that could be reinforced with woven glass fibres cloth for tensile strength, but which offers reasonable containment against high pressure when used minimally? Ie optimising for thinness.

As I see it, the challenge is how be effective in preventing the fibres of the cloth from separating enough to create a weak point which would then burst, meaning the substance needs to have reasonably high tensile strength itself.

One Answer

Is there a problem with the standard isothalic polyesther resin ? It is used for high strength sucker rods and most other things. Nearly all the strength is in the glass. For pressure tightness add a surface gel coat.
