Development History Of Glass Wool In China

In the 1950s, China began the production of glass wool. However, due to the limited technology and energy consumption at that time, the cost was very high and was not recognized by people at that time.

In the 1980s, the state began to advocate building energy conservation. Shanghai Flat Glass Factory, Anshan Flat Glass Factory and the former Beijing FRP Factory found foreign advanced centrifugal glass wool technology. Due to the great potential of the building energy conservation and insulation market, the industrialization process of China's glass wool was started by introducing production equipment such as centrifuges or joint ventures with foreign enterprises.

Later, Owens Corning of the United States, known as the industry standard leader, also entered the Chinese market.

In the 1990s, Shandong Dongying Deli Glass Wool Products Co., Ltd. and Gu'an Hongyuan Glass Wool Products Factory appeared again.

Since 2000, China's glass wool industry has entered a stage of steady development. There are about 50 well-known domestic enterprises producing glass wool, such as Huamei Energy Saving Technology Group and Beijing CONING Building Materials. Centrifugal glass wool is gradually accepted. 

In recent years, there are hundreds of glass wool production lines in China, with the output of more than one million tons. In recent ten years, the output has increased exponentially, which shows that the demand for glass wool is increasing year by year, and the market prospect is very broad.
