Epoxy-coated fibreglass

Different types of fibres can be implicated (Stam-Westerveld et al. 1994). The most classical example is fibreglass. Other examples include rock wool, carbon fibres and plastic materials, such as polypropylene fibres, etc. Fibres can be chemically inert and provoke only mechanical trauma to the skin. Carbon fibre dermatitis and most cases of fibreglass dermatitis are good examples of this condition. However, some fibres, such as epoxy-coated fibreglass, can produce allergic reactions. 

In electronic systems, printed circuit boards are made from epoxy plastic and fibreglass. The nonconductive boards support layers of copper foil conductors. In electronic devices, the tiny and delicate active components are embedded within nonconductive epoxy or phenolic plastics, or within baked glass or ceramic coatings.

The marine industry provides good opportunities for the use of adhesives. Boats made of composite materials dominate the boating industry. Manufacturers of fibreglass boats use various raw materials such as glass roving, woven fabrics, mats, sheet moulding compounds, vinyl ester resins, polyester resins, epoxy, balsa core, teak, foam, honeycomb cores, and gel coats for the production of boat hulls, decks, bulk heads, cock-pit, hatches, lids, and interiors.
