The extensive use of copper as a conductor is a
matter of universal knowledge. The use of copper
as a conductor became more pronounced with the
advent of telegraph and electromagnet. However,
in order to prevent damage and accidents that can
occur due to electrocution, insulators on
electricity conducting copper wires is extremely
necessary. The primary aim of the insulators that
are used to cover the electricity conducting
copper wire is to protect the surrounding objects
or the person from the hazard of electrical
shock. In the current market, various types of
insulators with different features and uses are
available. One such unique one is the glass wire.

• Key Features of Glass wire
• The famous scientist G. F. Taylor invented
  the process of covering the conductor wires with
  a coating of glass in the year 1924. However,
  using the process for the mass production via
  machines was done Ulitovski. Nevertheless, the
  glass wires have become extremely popular with
  the consumer for its varied features. The Primary
  features wires that are coated with glass
  include
• A non-porous and smooth surface area
• Robust in design
• A classy look in case of exposed wiring
• Highly durable and flexible
• Airtight sealing
• Corrosion resistant
• Resistance to high voltage or temperatures,
  almost 6500 C

Uses of Glass Wire

• The advancement of technology has introduced
  us to varied kinds of machinery and appliances
  that are dependent on electricity as the primary
  source of power. Nevertheless, the required
  insulating capabilities have also evolved greatly
  along with the improvement of the nature of the
  machineries. The use of wires coated with glass
  has been popularized in numerous industries. Some
  of the industries where the glass wires have been
  used extensively include
• Instrumentation like vacuum systems
• Oceanographic studies and research

Uses of Copper tapes

• Chemical Industries that have requirements for
  electrical wiring like ionization chambers
• Automotive Industries where extreme robustness is
  required like sensors for high temperatures
• Aerospace where the wiring is exposed to immense
  climatic changes like sensors for corrosive
  atmosphere
• Robotic Science where flexibility is required
• The electronic devices, which required a
  precision of higher grades like printing at high
  speed
• Electrical industry where the wires are used to
  carry out high voltage currents like
  electrostatic precipitation
• The bio-chemical industry where the wires might
  be subjected to corrosion like heating systems
• Modern art also has varied uses of wires where a
  glass wire comes in handy and useful.

Advantages of glass wire

• Glass as a material is extremely useful for not
  only technical jobs but in our daily lives as
  well. Some of the advantages of glass wire
  include
• Since the insulation is hermetically sealed,
  there is no scope for the wire inside to have any
  kind of chemical reaction with the atmosphere
  thus preventing oxidation.
• Since glass is resistant to extreme corrosion and
  erosion, so it can be practically used anywhere
  like high temperature, voltage and chemically
  abrasive zones.
• It is a more environment friendly material as
  compared to the other insulators

The use of wires coated with glass is becoming
popular because of their good features and
added advantages.
