Fiberglass is made from thin filaments of glass. It is flexible, unlike other forms of glass.

Natural or synthetic polymers are often combined with fiberglass to create a strong, yet lightweight, composite material. This material is often referred to as fiberglass, though technically it is a fiber reinforced polymer.
Production
Fiberglass can be produced on Mars from molten glass.
