Basalt fibre
Basalt fibres made from rock solidified from volcanic lava are suggested by some as the alternative to glass fibres.
Asbestos fibres
Asbestos fibres are modified natural fibres.
Ceramic fibre
Ceramic fibre is the latest in a series of new materials earmarked for use as fibres.
Carbon fibres
The use of carbon fibres has only become widespread over the past couple of decades. However, growth has been rapid since its inception.
Glass fibres
Glass fibres existing in a wide range of types for several ends use made by melting silica (sand material) at very high temperatures and adding to the melt the necessary fabrics. High temperatures always incur significant energy costs.
Inorganic fibres
Inorganic fibres. A type of Another type of tissue that is becoming more important is in the inanimate category. Grains produced from materials that are present in the Earth’s crust refers to inorganic. These fibres can easily be made from naturally occurring materials and are inorganic rather than polymeric.
