company news about 3 Cold Facts: How Fiberglass Can Make Your Life Safer

From a car accident to a fire to a surgery, seemingly unrelated scenarios are turned around by the same material.

Cold Fact #1: The Firefighter's “Second Skin” - A Barrier to Life in Thousands of Degrees of Heat

- The fiberglass layer in fire suits:

• Firefighting suits lined with fiberglass fabrics (e.g., Nomex® blend from the U.S.) can withstand temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius for more than 30 seconds, while traditional cotton garments can last only 5 seconds.
• Data: After the Grenfell Tower fire in London, the UK mandated the use of fiberglass fire blankets in high-rise buildings, and the fire escape rate increased by 40%.

- Real-world examples:

• Fiberglass-reinforced fire tents protected 12 firefighters from fire waves in the 2020 California Hill Fire.

Cold Facts 2: Invisible Airbags in a Car Crash - Hidden Crash-Resistant Black Technology in the Car

- Secrets of car bumpers:

• Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) bumpers are 3x more effective at absorbing energy than steel and do not produce metal shrapnel on impact (Tesla Model 3 real-world data).
• Comparison: glass fiber bumper impacts passengers 35% less in a 50km/hour collision.

- Guardian of battery safety:

• BIADI Blade battery case is made of fiberglass composite material, which is puncture-resistant and flame-retardant, eliminating the risk of battery bursting into flames (passed the national standard of “pin-prick test”).

Cold Fact #3: The “Silent Bodyguard” in the Operating Room - Behind the Scenes of Medical Safety

- Interference-proof housings for MRI equipment:

• GE Healthcare's MRI equipment housings contain a fiberglass layer that shields against electromagnetic interference and prevents misdiagnosis (traditional metal housings distort magnetic fields).
• Data: fiberglass housings improve imaging clarity by 20%, and 90% of the world's MRI equipment relies on this technology.

- A lightweight revolution in artificial bones:

• Artificial bones made of glass-fiber reinforced PEEK (e.g., from aap Implantate, Germany) are 1/3 the weight of titanium alloy and have no risk of metal allergy.
