For understanding of reasons of glass fiber breakage comprehensive investigation of defected areas was carried out and the glass chemical composition and properties were compared. Visual evalution of breaking spots showed that there are at least two types of glass fiber breakage - extraneous crystalline inclusions and breaking spot without any visual changes. In the place of defects origin, EDAX analyses showed the difference in distribution of chemical elements in bulk and on the glass surface
