What is fiberglass?
Fiberglass is a fiber-reinforced polymer made of plastic reinforced by fine fibers of glass. It is a lightweight, strong, and versatile material used in a wide range of applications, including insulation, boat hulls, car bodies, roofing, and pipes. It is valued for its strength, durability, resistance to corrosion, and relatively low cost.

resins
Resins (like polyester or epoxy) are used as a matrix to bind the fiberglass fibers together, creating a composite material. They are a necessary component in fiberglass production.
polyester
Polyester resin is a common matrix material used in fiberglass composites, making it complementary.
Epoxy
Epoxy is a resin used in fiberglass composites, serving as the matrix material. Therefore it complements fiberglass.
