Japanese term or phrase: ガラス不織布
What`s the proper translation of ガラス不織布.
I translated it as ¥"glass fiber¥", but doubt that that would suffice.

Thanks in advance.

adhesive sheet
Explanation:
The sciterm dictionary gives "non-woven cloth" for 不織布.

However, the Hitachi Chemical website has a product labeled ガラス不織布 (AS-5000GP). You can also call up the same product description in English. They call it "adhesive sheet" and note that it is superior to glass-cloth prepregs.

Thanx shhogg! Interesting reference. I want to grade more people for my answer has become a combination of several suggestions, so thank you all! Also Will Matter`s "extruded" was a useful suggestion.
And yes, I forgot the non-woven part after a while because I couldn`t find any of it in Dutch (the lang I am currently translating in) till very recently. Thank you!

nonwoven cloth made of glass fibers


Explanation:
You forgot the "nonwoven" part. Or was that because it was irrelevant?

Alwin also forgot the CONTEXT. On the word level, Miss Hogg\'s \"adhesive sheet\" is a considerable stretch (although it\'s certainly the most common application in my corner of the J-E translation world), but we\'ll never know.

non-woven glass fiber cloth.


Explanation:
Since it's not woven, it's probably extruded, you could also say "extruded glass fiber cloth" Just alternates.

disagree  Maynard Hogg: Without the plastic. Miss Hogg's (no relation) "adhesive sheet" プリプレグ suggests that fiberglass is the likeliest application.
