Based on 494 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Fibers used in the plastics industry are typically presented as fine strands or filaments, often made from materials such as glass, carbon, aramid, or natural sources like cellulose. Key features include their high tensile strength, lightweight nature, and resistance to environmental degradation. Used in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries. 

Alternatives include nanofibers and hybrid fibers. A notable trend is the increasing adoption of sustainable and bio-based fibers. Sub-types include glass fibers, carbon fibers, and natural fibers.
