Fiberglass is a common type of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber. The plastic matrix may be epoxy, polyester resin or thermoplastic. The glass fibers may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet (called a chopped strand mat), or woven into a fabric
Cheaper and more flexible than carbon fiber, it is stronger than many metals by weight, is non-magnetic, non-conductive, transparent to electromagnetic radiation, can be molded into complex shapes, and is chemically inert under many circumstances.
