Hi Clive,
here are some properties of the different glass fabrics. It is not perfect
but I hope this throws a little bit more light your way

Shand, Pub. McGraw Hill)
'E' Glass _ Used for electrical applications, the most commonly used
composition for continuous filament yarns. Good resistance to water, fair
to alkalies , poor resistance to acids.
E-glass has been the leader of the composites industry since the late
1940s. was developed originally for use as an insulator in the Electrical
industry
(hence the "E" designation before the word glass)
'C' Glass_ Chemically resistant glass, primarily to water and acids. Used
for battery separator mats, acid filter cloths and anode bags.
'S' Glass_ High tensile strength, high modulus glass for resin
reinforcement , particularly used for ballistic absorption shields.
S-glass is a different chemical formulation of glass that enhances
Structural strength characteristics (so the "S" designation before the word
glass).
S-glass's major advantages over E-glass include slightly higher strength
and stiffness on a per-weight basis, and it will also stretch further
before breaking.

Subject: [TN] DES: "S-glass" Fibre Reinforcement
Hi All,
Does anyone out there have any information or specification details on
"S-glass" fibre reinforcement material as used in PCB laminates, and
what does the "S" stand for?
There are TCE (sorry CTE for you guys!) advantages with its use, and
depending on the resin system it is used with, Er advantages also, but
I am looking specifically to identify and understand the differences
between "S-glass" fibre material and the more conventional "E-glass"
fibre material. (I understand "E" stands for "Electronics" Grade???).
How many people use S-glass?
What benefits do you see?
Any comments appreciated.
