The invention relates to reinforcing glass yarns having a composition that includes the following components within the limits defined below and expressed in percentage by weight, namely 62 - 72 % SiO2 , 4 - 11 % AI2O3 , 8 - 22 % CaO,1 - 7 % MgO, 0 - 9 % Na2O + K2O + Li2O, 0 - 4 % BaO + SrO, 0 - 4 % B2O3, 0 - 2 % F2 and0 - 4 % other components: TiO2 + ZrO2 + Fe2O3 (total iron) + P2O5 + MnO + Cr2O3 + MoO3 + ZnO + SO3. Said yarns are made from a low-cost glass providing excellent trade-off between the mechanical properties thereof, represented by specific Young's modulus, and the fibre production conditions of same. The invention also relates to the glass composition designed for the production of said glass yarns, structures based on such yarns, particularly screens, fabrics and mats, and composites including such yarns. |
