Fiberglass used in electronic industry

In the electronic field, electronic glass fiber with a fiber diameter of 9 microns and below is a key material for making copper clad laminates (CCL) and printed circuit boards (PCB). It has the characteristics of good electrical insulation performance, fire retardant, and aging resistance; Ultra-fine electronic fibers and low-dielectric glass fibers are widely used in the fields of 5G and the Internet of Things, and have the characteristics of high frequency, low delay, and low loss. With the rapid development of the 5G industry, industrial Internet, and Internet of Things, higher requirements have been put forward for the dielectric properties of electronic components under high-frequency transmission conditions. Low-dielectric glass fiber has a lower dielectric constant and dielectric loss, complies with market demand and has broad application prospects. The development of miniaturization and integration of electronic devices has brought about requirements for thinner and lighter parts, which require higher strength and rigidity. High-modulus glass fiber has excellent modulus and strength, and has a large potential application market. . According to Prismark statistics, China's PCB output value increased from US$15 billion to US$43.553 billion from 2008 to 2022, with a CAGR of 7.91%. It is expected that China's CAGR will reach 3.3% from 2022 to 2027. In the field of home appliances, glass fiber is mainly added to plastics to improve the strength, modulus, heat resistance, low-temperature impact resistance, creep resistance, etc. of the plastics. In fans in refrigerators, air conditioners and other refrigeration machines, It is widely used in the inner barrel and pulsator of washing machines, the bases of rice cookers and microwave ovens, relay shells and base plates. Domestically, from 2015 to 2022, my country's home appliance-related sales increased from 826.95 billion yuan to 889.01 billion yuan, with an average annual compound growth rate of 1.04%. On the whole, under the industrial innovation and new demand development of the electronic and electrical industry, the overall growth has been steady, boosting the demand for glass fiber in related fields.
