Glass

An amorphous transparent or translucent brittle material usually made via the fusion of silica, soda ash, lime and salt cake or similar materials. Glass fibers are used in yarn servings and braids and as strength members. They offer a high tensile strength, inflammability, flexibility and resistance to moisture and high temperatures. Glass is also used in the production of fiber optic cables.
