Does fiber have a high melting point?

Answer 1

Fibres have a sharp melting point (a high melting point) due the strong forces with which the chains are closely packed giving them high tensile strength.

Answer 2

Fiber typically has a lower melting point compared to metals and other high-temperature materials. The melting point of fiber can vary depending on the type of material it is made from, such as glass, carbon, or polymer fibers. Generally, synthetic polymer fibers have lower melting points than natural fibers like wool or silk.

Answer 3

Many fibers have sharp melting points due to their impurities. Many are impure mixes, so they may melt at various temperatures.

Answer 4

It depends on the fiber. Nylon or PE fiber for example has a low melting point.
