Difference between C-glass and E-glass
| Aspect |
C-Glass (Chemical Glass) |
E-Glass (Electrical Glass) |
| Primary Use |
Designed for chemical resistance, especially against acids and corrosive environments |
Designed for electrical insulation and structural applications |
| Composition |
Higher chemical durability; typically contains higher amounts of boron and silica, lower alkali content |
Lower alkali content; optimized for electrical insulation properties and mechanical strength |
| Corrosion Resistance |
Excellent resistance to acidic and chemical environments |
Moderate chemical resistance; less resistant than C-Glass |
| Electrical Properties |
Poor electrical insulation properties compared to E-Glass |
Excellent electrical insulating properties |
| Mechanical Strength |
Good strength, but generally lower than E-Glass |
High tensile strength and stiffness |
| Typical Applications |
Chemical tanks, pipelines, corrosion-resistant coatings |
Electronics, electrical insulation, composites like fiberglass-reinforced plastics |
| Cost |
Generally more expensive due to specialized composition |
Generally more cost-effective and widely used |
In summary, C-Glass is preferred when corrosion resistance is critical, especially in harsh chemical environments. E-Glass is the standard glass fiber for most structural and electrical insulation applications due to its high strength and good dielectric properties.
