Fiberglass tubes have excellent performance and a wide range of applications

Fiberglass tube, referred to as fiberglass tube, is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. Fiberglass pipes have the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, aging resistance, light weight, and good frost resistance. They are widely used in aerospace, home decoration, chemical industry, electronic devices, insulation materials and other fields. There are many types of fiberglass tubes. According to different coating materials, they can be divided into two types: silicone rubber fiberglass tubes and silicone fiberglass tubes.

Glass fiber pipe production processes include centrifugal casting process, reciprocating fiber winding process and continuous fiber winding process. The centrifugal casting process places the raw materials in a steel mold. Under the action of centrifugal force, a smooth surface coating will be formed on the inner wall of the tube, which can be made into a fiberglass tube after solidification. The reciprocating fiber winding process uses long fiber glass filaments as raw materials and is impregnated. The groove reciprocates with the rotating mandrel. After the raw material is solidified, it is taken out to produce a fiberglass tube.

According to the “2022-2027 China Glass Fiber Pipe Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, The main raw materials of fiberglass pipe are glass fiber and synthetic resin. Sichuan, Zhejiang, Hebei, Hubei, Shandong and other places are my country’s main glass fiber production areas. Driven by the industrial cluster effect, my country’s glass fiber production capacity continues to expand and has become one of the world’s major glass fiber producing countries, with production capacity accounting for nearly 50% of the world’s. In recent years, my country’s glass fiber output has maintained a steady growth trend. According to statistics from the China Fiberglass Industry Association, my country’s glass fiber output will reach 6.240 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 15.2%. The sufficient supply of raw materials lays a foundation and guarantee for the development of my country’s fiberglass pipe industry.

Fiberglass tubes are widely used in aerospace, home decoration, chemical industry, etc. In the aerospace field, fiberglass tubes have the advantages of light weight, good frost resistance, heat resistance, and aging resistance. They can be used to produce radiators for avionics equipment, and can also effectively reduce the weight of the aircraft fuselage. In recent years, driven by national policy support and technological innovation, the localization process of my country’s large aircraft has continued to accelerate, driving the market demand for fiberglass tubes to become increasingly strong.

With the continuous optimization of industrial structure layout, the concentration of my country’s fiberglass pipe industry has increased. The main manufacturers of fiberglass pipes in my country include Taishan Glass Fiber Co., Ltd., China Jushi Co., Ltd., Chongqing International Composite Materials Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that glass fiber pipes have excellent performance and are widely used in many fields. As market demand is gradually released, the future industry development The space will continue to expand. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials and mature production technology, my country’s fiberglass pipe industry has developed rapidly. As market competition becomes increasingly fierce, the production capacity of my country’s leading fiberglass pipe companies continues to expand, and the Matthew effect becomes more significant, which will increase industry concentration.
