Electrical Market

The majority of printed circuit boards are based on various fabrics incorporating E-glass yarns, which are layered and impregnated with a variety of resins such as epoxy, melamine, phenolic and Teflon.^® The resulting laminate provides the backbone and/or substrate for the printed circuit board. Fiberglass yarn is used so the boards can meet critical electrical, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, dimensional stability and dielectric properties critical to the performance of the final parts.

Vetrotex yarns have been used extensively in this market for years, as the major weavers have demanded a high performance yarn in order to meet the stringent requirements of the industry. Fabrics such as style 7628 using Vetrotex yarn are widely accepted throughout the world. There are thousands of products that incorporate our glass fiber products, including transformers, switches and relays.

The future will call for even more advances in fiberglass yarns in order to meet the increasing demands of highly advanced electronic components, and Vetrotex is determined to meet those challenges.
