USE
Glass fibres can generally be classified into two categories based on usage: (i) low-cost, general-purpose fibres typically used for insulation applications and (ii) premium specialpurpose fibres used in limited specialised applications. The primary use of glass wool is for thermal and sound insulation. The largest use of glass wool is for home and building insulation in the form of loose wool; Batts insulation in the form of a blanket, rather than a loose filling; blankets or rolls; or rigid boards for acoustic insulation. Glass wool is also used for industrial, equipment, and appliance insulation. Special-purpose glass fibres are used for a variety of applications that require either a specialised glass formulation or a particular diameter. The largest market for special-purpose glass fibres is for battery separator media; the glass wool fibres physically separate the negative and positive plates in a battery while allowing the acid electrolyte to pass through. Another important use is in high-efficiency particulate air filters for settings where high-purity air is required. Special-purpose glass fibres are also used for aircraft, spacecraft, and acoustical insulation.
