Biosoluble micro fiberglass refers to glass fibers engineered with specific chemistries that allow very fine fibers to dissolve and clear naturally in the body if they are inhaled.
From a health perspective, the behavior of fibers in the body becomes relevant when they fall into the respirable range. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), respirable fibers are defined as fibers typically smaller than 3鈥祄 in diameter, longer than 5鈥祄, and with a length鈥憈o鈥慸iameter, or aspect, ratio greater than 3:1. Fibers meeting these criteria can reach deep into the lungs, making their biological behavior important.听
Biosolubility addresses this by design: it describes how certain glass chemistries are formulated to avoid long鈥憈erm persistence in the body. This is particularly important in applications where fine glass fibers are intentionally used for functional reasons, such as performance, efficiency, or durability. In contrast, some fine glass fibers used in the market may not be biosoluble, even though they may look similar.
