What is a “Composite”?
An engineered material system…
combining reinforcement fibers…
glass, carbon, aramid
with another material…
e.g., thermoset or thermoplastic resins, gypsum, ceramic
resulting in unique, high performance
attributes…
strong, durable, lightweight, non-corrosive, design flexibility
used to replace traditional materials
steel, wood, concrete, aluminum
Today, 95% of composite materials use glass reinforcement fibers


4
Owens Corning in Composites
Commercialized glass fibers in 1938
Pioneered the use of glass as a
reinforcement in composites
Instrumental in converting applications
to composites
Continues our legacy of innovation and
transformation today
Owens Corning is the leading global supplier of
glass reinforcements to the composites industry
