Fiberglas has the natural advantages of glass . . . chemical and physical stability, long life and a rela tive freedom from change in character either through age or contact with other materials. But, in addition, process the wool emerges in a well-formed, well-defined continuous ribbon subject to complete manufacturing control. This ribbon can be controlled as to width, thickness, diameter of fiber and other qualities so as to permit the manufacture of a vast group of highefficiency insulations . . . insulations which, because of their unique advantages, have built up wide accept ance throughout the construction and industrial fields. it has physical characteristics not usually associated with glass. It is a wool in every sense (except, of course, ADVANTAGES OF FIBERGLAS that it is a mineral fiber). It has the fineness, the resili ency and the effective insulation value usually associ ated with wool.In addition, itisnon-combustibleand nonhygroscopic the fibers are not affected by moisture. QUALITY CLOSELY CONTROLLED-Fiberglas insulation differs from most other types of wool principally in its high ratio of fiberized material (it is relatively free from unfiberized material) and in its HOW FIBERGLAS IS MADE unusual fiber length. This freedom from non-insulating material permits closer control of quality and wider Fiberglas is manufactured by drawing molten glass from application of the basic fiber to industrial uses. a furnace or tank at a tem perature close to 3,000 F. and feeding it through tiny Fiberglas Wool comes out of the form ing hood a openings into steam jets which draw it at tremendous th ick fleecy m at of wool . . . a m at m ade up of long, fine-spun fibers.

The typical diam eter of such fibers is from .0003 to .0004 of an inch, and for some types of wool even less. These tiny filaments are gathered in a forming hood and deposited on a moving belt, usually to a depth of several inches. A part of the process is an annealing treatment to increase flex ibility and resiliency and to permit the forming of a bet ter mat or bat of wool. From the forming and annealing * 1 O W EN S-ILLIN O IS POWER PRODUCTS This illu strates th e resilien t feature of Fiberglas W ool, a h ig h resili ency th at is d ue to the fact th at Fiberglas is a tru e wool, m ade of long, stout fibers of extrem ely sm all diam eter.

This places it among the most efficient of commercial insulating materials used in its field. FIREPROOF The fibers of Fiberglas insulation will not support combustion. Because they are non-combustible they permit the manufacture of fireproof insulating materials. LIGHT WEIGHT The almost complete conversion of all raw material of Fiberglas into efficient insulating fiber relieves the resultant product of non-insulative material and therefore gives it the advantage of unusual light weight. Since it is the fiber which holds captive air and actually creates the insulative value NON-HYGROSCOPIC The fibers of Fiberglas are as impervious of wool, Fiberglas fcisulation is designed for maximum efficiency. to water as a pane of glass.

This construction is possible because the long fibers of Figerglas knit the blanket together so ruggedly that the usual metal facing is unnecessary. Recom mended for use where a resilient surface is required to conform to such irregularities as laps, bolt and rivet heads and to retain a smooth finish. "H" FACING The conventional hexagonal mesh or chicken wire facing. Recommended as a support to prevent any movement of the blanket in a panel. "H" style Fiberglas blan kets are the most flexible blankets available for bending or fitting to irregular surfaces. L Facing--Copper-bearing Expanded Metal Lath. "L" FACING *The expanded metal lath fac ing. This is the ideal base for an insulating or finishing cement. Recommended for use on large flat or curved surfaces. LO Blankets are most popular and have proved their general utility in most industrial applications. "R" FACING Hi-Rib metal lath facing with or ;! t" rib. Recommended for use where maximum rigidity is required. Blankets are fabricated with the rib turned either to the outside or inside. The rib turned out will pro vide air space between the insulation and the hot surface, an advantage utilized in insulat ing steel breeching shells. The above materials are combined to form the many styles listed on the preceding page OWENS-ILLINOIS t PLAIN AND SEWED BLANKETS . - u p * a s r 1; .
