The
corrosion resistance of glass fibres is determined by their
chemical structure and ECR-glass was manufactured specifically
to resist acid and alkali exposure.
These
fibres are boron-free fibres with a modified structure to
enhance their long term acid and short term alkali resistance.
Their mechanical properties are similar to E-glass but they
have less weight loss based on sulphuric acid exposure. The
enhanced corrosion resistance results in an increase in cost.
