What is glass reinforced plastic?

Answer 1

It varies enormously. See the link below to a table showing all sorts of glass and glass-like products:

2.6g/cm3

2600Kg/m3

Also glass sinks because it has a density higher than 1.0g/cm^3.

Answer 2

T Miller

Density of Polycarbonate is 1300 kg/cu.m

I found it as I had to compare density of Polycarbonate (1300) with stainless steel(~8000), units are kg/cubic meters

1.20-1.22 g/cm3

Answer 3

Fiber reinforced plastic and glass reinforced plastic are the same. The fiber used to make the FRP is made of glass i.e. the glass is processed and woven as a fiber matt, therefore we can call it fiber reinforced plastic or glass reinforced plastic, both of them are one and the same thing i.e. FIBERGLASS.

Answer 4

Plastics usually have a filler material, something other than the plastic that is added to improve their properties in some way.

In glass reinforced plastic, some or all of the filler is pieces of fiberglass. This may be done by either adding chopped fiberglass to the plastic resin or by laying out fiberglass cloth on a form and coating it with plastic resin. It all depends on the desired reinforcing properties.

Answer 5

Plastic reinforced with fibreglass is a stronger form of plastic. This can be used by one when repairing things like boats and canoes. One can also use it as temporary fixes for cars and trucks.

Answer 6

Density is equal to weight (grams) over volume (liters)

D=W/V

Depends on the plastic, weight it and determine the volume and calculate its density.

Answer 7

about 1600Mg/m2

Answer 8

Mass/Volume which is 48.567g/cm³
