fiberglass (composite material) (<glass by form>, glass (material), ... Materials (hierarchy name))

Note: Composite material containing glass fibers, including glass fabrics and resins reinforced with glass fibers; fiberglass is strong, lightweight, nonflammable, with a high tensile strength. The material dates to 1893, when spun glass fibers were made into fabric by Edward D. Libbey and exhibited at the Columbian Exhibition in Chicago. Owen-Corning developed several processes for making fine, continuous glass fibers in the 1930s, which were sold under the trademark of ‘Fiberglas.’ Over time, the term 'fiberglass' became generally used for all glass fiber products.

Additional Notes:

Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種拉製呈纖維形式，可織成布料的玻璃。質地堅韌、輕巧、不可燃，並具高拉力。

Dutch ..... Glas dat tot een vezelachtige vorm is getrokken, die in stof kan worden verweven. Het is sterk, licht, niet brandbaar en heeft een grote treksterkte.

Portuguese ..... Material compósito contendo fibras de vidro, incluindo tecidos de vidro e resinas reforçadas com fibras de vidro; a fibra de vidro é forte, leve, não inflamável e com alta resistência à tração. O material data de 1893, quando as fibras de vidro fiadas foram transformadas em tecido por Edward D. Libbey e exibidas na Exposição Columbian em Chicago. A Owen-Corning desenvolveu vários processos para fazer fibras de vidro finas e contínuas na década de 1930, que eram vendidas sob a marca registrada de ‘Fiberglas’. Com o tempo, o termo ‘fibra de vidro’ tornou-se geralmente usado para todos os produtos de fibra de vidro.

Spanish ..... Vidrio convertido en fibras y que puede ser tejido como tela. Es sólido, ligero, no inflamable y tiene alta resistencia a la tensión.
