Abstract

The article provides the results of a comprehensive assessment of the retention of the strength properties of VPS-58 fiberglass under tension, compression and bending in the temperature range of –60 to +80 °C in the initial state and after exposure to operating factors. These factors included exposure in a tropical climate chamber and hygrothermal aging under different conditions for 1 and 3 months, as well as thermal aging for 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 hours. The influence of mycological environment and automotive fuels and lubricants on the bending strength limit of fiberglass and mass change was studied.
