It is a highly innovative creative© coating, made of 100% fiberglass. Glass fibres used for weaving, like other types of glass, are obtained from renewable raw materials readily available in nature, such as kaolin, alumina, silica and others, by reacting mixtures at temperatures between 1300 and 1600 μc.
For this purpose special furnaces are used from which the material in the liquid state, is extruded through the dies, platinum stoves bearing at the base a predetermined number of holes with a diameter of several millimeters. The molten glass, pouring through the holes, takes the form of multiple rods, which are collected and thrown on a rotating spindle at a very high speed in order to create a rapid stretching of the molten glass and cooled quickly. In this way a filament of a diameter of a few microns is obtained and a thread is obtained from the set of filaments.
This wire has physical and chemical properties almost identical to those of glass in mass: specific gravity, electrical resistivity, non-flammability, thermal conductivity and chemical inertia. On the other hand, the mechanical properties are completely different, since the production process allows the fibres to maintain even in the "solid" state the molecular disposition corresponding to the liquid one, which remains, so to speak, "frozen" at the moment of abrupt cooling of the material at the exit from the supply chain. In addition, the tensile strength of the fibres is many times higher than that of glass in mass, reaching values above 30,000 kg/cm2 (three times that of steel). The technical fiberglass fabric combines strength and lightness and is the most innovative answer to decorative and functional needs for floors and walls, in any type of environment, indoor and outdoor.
