Fibreglass Properties

Tensile Strength
Two types of fiberglass most commonly used are S-glass and E-glass. E-glass has good insulation properties and it will maintain its properties up to 1500 degree F(815 deg C). S-glass has a high tensile strength and is stiffer than E-glass
Ductility
However, among the restrictions that fibreglass suffers is a limitation applied to its workability by virtue of its lack of ductility. Ductility allows a material to be pressed and pushed into shape.
Shear Strength
Fiberglass has high shear strength, making it useful to builders and others in trade work.
Hardness
Fibreglass hardness is considered high.
