Editing Glass wool (section)

==Manufacturing process==
Natural [[sand]] and recycled glass are mixed and heated to {{cvt|1450|C|F}}, to produce glass. The fiberglass is usually produced by a method similar to making [[cotton candy]]. Molten glass is forced through a rapidly spinning metal cup, called a 'spinner'. The [[centrifugal force]] pulls the glass through small holes in the spinner. The newly created fibers cool on contact with the air.<ref>{{ Cite web| url=https://www.yokogawa.com/us/library/resources/application-notes/fiberglass-spinner/|title=

Cohesion and [[mechanical strength]] are obtained by the presence of a binder that “cements” the fibers together. A drop of binder is placed at each fiber intersection. The fiber mat is then heated to around {{cvt|200|C|F}} to [[Polymerization|polymerize]] the [[resin]] and is [[Calendering|calendered]] to give it strength and stability. Finally, the wool mat is cut and packed in rolls or panels, palletized, and stored for use.
