The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is getting closer and closer to us, and winter sports are also popular in China, which has led to the winter sports industry. Among them, there are also business opportunities for glass fiber reinforced materials.

Ski wagon

Skiing cars are a new thing in the country, which allows people who don't use ski poles to enjoy skiing. Ski trucks are a new industry in China, production and manufacturing supply exceeds supply. Once upon a time, the load-bearing parts of ski vehicles face many problems and challenges. Nowadays, glass fiber reinforced materials have become the protagonist of ski vehicle load-bearing, and the problems are solved easily. Glass fiber reinforced materials have become the star material of ski vehicle industry.

The glass fiber reinforced material replaces the traditional metal parts, which not only realizes the lightweight, but also reduces the problems of bumps, oscillations, swings, noise, friction and wear in the driving of ski vehicles, and also enhances the fatigue resistance and prolongs the service life of the products.

At the last Winter Olympics, glass fiber reinforced materials entered the field of skiing and became the star material of the ski industry. Ski industry raw materials have experienced how many generations of replacement, today's protagonist is glass fiber reinforced materials.

Glass fiber composites are used and developed in ski sports, according to K2Sports, which uses glass fiber reinforced materials to make snowboards. Alpine skiing is mainly driven by gravity, while extreme wilderness skiing depends on itself as the driving force. The difference between the two determines that they have different requirements for ski material. Wagner company is also an important promoter of glass fiber composites. According to the company ," glass fiber is an excellent material for snowboarding, light weight, high strength, high torsional stiffness, excellent shock absorption performance ."

Authoritative ski practitioners remind ski enthusiasts of the need to realize that excessive pursuit of the "elasticity" of skis may lead to a very "bumpy" process and reduce the sports experience. Therefore, glass fiber composite ski is a better choice.

Ski shoes

What shoes do we wear for skiing? After all, the surface of ice and snow is very slippery and dangerous. How can more people who can't ski experience the fun of skiing? Can wear glass fiber shoes on the ice and snow walk, jump, anti-slip and warm.

There is a winter anti-skid shoes in the international market, good at walking ice and snow noodles. The sole of the shoe is made of rubber material embedded in thousands of glass fibers, which grab ice and snow like tiny nails. This is developed by Canadian scientists, the shoe is non-slip, warm, but also affordable.

Scientists in Canada have developed the method of embedding fiberglass in elastic rubber, a new material that can be used to make winter shoes. The material is made of a rubber material called thermoplastic polyurethane, in which thousands of glass fibers are buried and stretched out like tiny nails outside the rubber, making the rubber feel like fine sandpaper.

Such soles, on dry surfaces, such as tile tiles, function like ordinary rubber. But on ice and snow, the glass-fibre blend of rubber shows a clear advantage over ordinary rubber anti-skid ability. Let go of thinking, we will find that such soles can not only be used for ice and snow sports, usually in winter, when there is ice and snow on the ground, we can also let the elderly and children who are easy to slip, put on such anti-skid shoes, to ensure their walking safety.

Glass fiber reinforced materials are also used ski poles, ski suits and ski helmets, more and more ski equipment, winter sports equipment, research and development of glass fiber reinforced materials products, instead of traditional materials, so that equipment replacement, more advanced.
