Abstract
Provided is a glass cloth obtained by weaving a glass thread, which is made from a plurality of glass filaments, as a warp and weft. The average filament diameter of the glass filaments is 3.0-4.5 μm. The respective weaving densities of the warp and the weft constituting the glass cloth are, independently, 70-130 threads/25 mm. The standard deviation of weft width of the glass cloth is not more than 30 μm. The weft covering ratio R, which is represented by the expression R=Y/(25400/D) (where R is the weft covering ratio, Y is the average weft width, and D is the weft weaving density) satisfies the relational expression 0.50≤R≤0.83.

A glass cloth woven using glass yarns each composed of a plurality of glass filaments as warp yarns and weft yearns, wherein an average filament diameter of the glass filaments is 3.0 to 4.5 μm, weaving densities of the warp yarns and weft yarns constituting the glass cloth are each independently 70 to 130 yarns/25 mm, a standard deviation of a weft yarn width of the glass cloth is 30 μm or less, and in the glass cloth, a weft yarn coverage ratio R, represented by the following formula:
- R=Y/(25400/D)
- where R is the weft yarn coverage ratio, Y is an average weft yarn width, and D is a weft yarn weaving density, satisfies the following relationship:
- 0.50≤R≤0.83.
A method for the production of a glass cloth, comprising a weaving step in which glass yarns each composed of a plurality of glass filaments are woven as warp yarns and weft yarns, and an opening step in which an obtained glass cloth is opened with sprayed water, wherein
- in the opening step, pressure of the sprayed water is 0.20 MPa or less, and a warp yarn direction tension is less than 50 N, and
- wherein an average filament diameter of the glass filaments is 3.0 to 4.5 μm, weaving densities of the warp yarns and weft yarns constituting the glass cloth are each independently 70 to 130 yarns/25 mm, a standard deviation of a weft yarn width of the glass cloth is 30 μm or less, and in the glass cloth, a weft yarn coverage ratio R, represented by the following formula:
- R=Y/(25400/D)
- where R is the weft yarn coverage ratio, Y is an average weft yarn width, and D is a weft yarn weaving density, satisfies the following relationship:
- 0.50≤R≤0.83.
