DEF

A glass co-fiber consisting of two glasses having different coefficients of thermal expansion which glasses are fused together along their lengths [during the fiberization process].

CONT

The term dual glass fiber as used herein means a glass fiber made from two or more glass compositions having different coefficients of expansion. ... Ideally, a cross sectional view of the fiber would show one half of the fiber to be formed of a first glass composition, and the other half of the fiber to be formed of a second glass composition.

OBS

Since the glasses have different coefficients of thermal expansion, these co-fibers twist and bend when cooled during the fiberization process.
