The answer depends somewhat on what you mean by "withstand" and how high a temperature you consider to be "high" temperature.
Fiberglass will begin to lose tensile strength as it warms up. The fiberglass fibers will eventually reach a softening point where they will deform easily before they actually melt. The strength, softening point, melting point, and char point of fiberglass also depend on the polymer used with the glass and the way it is extruded and coated. Some fiberglass only handles relatively mild temperatures - perhaps up to 150 °F while others may remain suitable for use at temperatures up around 300 °F. The limiting factor is the temperature at which the resin that is used with the fiberglass begins to degrade - most resins begin to degrade when they get above 150 °F although some can go much higher.

How does pyrex dishes works?
A Pyrex dish is made out of a special type of glass so that it can be used in the oven or microwave. It is made out of soda-lime glass to withstand high temperature.
When will moisture form faster on glass?
When it is in an environment where there is a high amount of water vapor in the air, and the glass is a low enough temperature to convert the water from its gaseous form to its liquid form, causing the water to condensate on the glass.
Does glass break or crack with temperature changes?
When temperatures changes this can cause the molecules in an object to contract [ at low temperatures ] or to expand [ high temperatures ] . Glass is a fragile object and if the molecules in glass contract or expand quickly this can cause the glass to break . [SRM] .
What is the use of a liquid-in -glass thermometers?
1. has a high boiling point 2. good conductor of heat 3. does not wet glass does not vaporize easily 4. has a wide temperature range
Is glass conductor of heat?
Depends on the type of glass, but, loosely speaking, "glass" is an insulator. If it is an conductor of heat, it should have metals in it. Some might have oxygen present, which is melted at a very high temperature with soda, or limewater. The sand will mix with the metals (two of them) and form a shiny glass. This is very expensive.
I want to bake pasta in my oven with glass casserole What temperature can the glass withstand before cracking in oven?
A glass casserole oven dish are made to withstand high temperatures. You can bake at temps as high as 450.
Why can a camel withstand high temperature?
a camel withstand high temperatures because they have stored water in their body
What materials can withstand high temperature?
There are two non-metal materials that come to mind. Ceramics and diamond can withstand high temperatures.
What metal is used in aircraft to withstand high temperature?
Titanium(Ti)
What are optical fibers made of?
Good optical fiber is made of glass, but inexpensive fiber is sometimes made of plastic.
What is thermally unstable mean?
If a substance is thermally unstable it means it breaks down at high temperature. It cannot withstand high temperature.
Transmission medium for very high speed?
Glass, as in fiber optic.
Why ceramic used for wall of a nuclear reactor?
ceramic can withstand high temperature
Why the combustion chamber made of material that can withstand a high temperature?
The fuel burning process results in the release of heat that is why the chamber is made of materials that can withstand high temperatures.
Is kevlar fireproof?
Kevlar is a new special synthetic fiber. This fiber does burn, but can withstand extremely high temperatures. After it catches fire, it is quite difficult to extinguish.
How does pyrex dishes works?
A Pyrex dish is made out of a special type of glass so that it can be used in the oven or microwave. It is made out of soda-lime glass to withstand high temperature.
How does temperature effect glass?
Temperature affects glass like it does anything else. If the temperature of glass gets high enough, it will melt. There is not a typical melting point for glass, as it depends on the composition.
