Fiberglass

A man-made material consisting of glass fibers spun and woven into a mat-like cloth adhered to a rocket with epoxy resins. It is used to add strength to high power rockets, so that they can withstand higher-powered motors than they otherwise could. Although fiberglass is a commonly used word, it is actually a trade mark of Owen-Corning Inc. See Pseudo-Glassing
