Dispel misunderstandings! Is fiberglass cloth really harmful?

In recent years, fiberglass cloth has been used more and more widely in electronics, construction, automobiles and other fields, but many people associate "fiberglass" with negative impressions such as "skin allergies" and "cancer risks" when they hear "fiberglass". Some people even compare it with asbestos, causing concerns among consumers and downstream manufacturers.

As practitioners in the fiberglass cloth industry, we are well aware of the impact of this misunderstanding on the development of the industry. Today, we will start from a scientific perspective and combine the actual production of the industry to restore the truth for everyone-is the finished fiberglass cloth safe?

Many people mistakenly believe that fiberglass and asbestos are the same substance. In fact, the two are completely different in composition and structure:

Asbestos: natural mineral fiber, easy to split into ultrafine particles, long-term inhalation may cause lung cancer, mesothelioma and other diseases.
Fiberglass: artificially synthesized silicate material, the fiber is thicker and the structure is stable, and it is not easy to break into inhalable fine particles.
International authoritative organizations have determined:

The World Health Organization (WHO) clearly stated that fiberglass is not a carcinogen.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies some special glass fibers as "Class 2B possible carcinogens", but this is based on the results of extremely high-dose animal experiments. There is no need to worry about the finished glass fiber cloth that you come into contact with on a daily basis.
