In the production of glass fibers, unhindered fiber drawing subsequent to the melting process is of great significance. The continuous flow of the melt should ensure that fibers do not tear off and that the diameter of the fine fibers remains constant. Heraeus will help you to achieve this goal and to optimize your products. Profit from our many years experience.

Glass fiber bushings with TIG-welded tips with laser-welded tips Basalt fiber bushings Bushings for extreme thermal and corrosive conditions, such as those encountered for example in processing molten basalt, S-glass and mineral glasses. Individual design for the perfect process The first glass fibers were manufactured in Hamburg by W. von Paczinsky in 1908 using a bushing. Industrial production started in the USA in 1930 and in Germany in 1939, initially using 51-, 102- and 204-tip bushings. Heraeus has be
