Notes
C – Corrosive resistant glass made with calcium borosilicates. Used in acid corrosive environments.
E – Alkali free, highly electrically resistive glass made with alumina-calcium borosilicates.
ECR – An E-glass with higher acid corrosion resistance made with calcium aluminosilicates. Used where strength, electrical conductivity, and acid corrosion resistance is needed.
AR – Alkali Resistant glass made with zirconium silicates. Used in Portland cement substrates.
ECT – Boron-free and fluoride-free high performance glass
