$P_2O_5-SnO_2$ system $0.5SnO_2-xP_2O_5-(0.5-x)B_2O_3$(x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) glasses have been prepared for Pb-free low temperature glass frit. A investigation about the effect of $B_2O_3$ substitution on properties of $P_2O_5$ glasses, including glass structure properties, thermal properties, and mechanical properties was presented. Substance that is responsible for in moisture absorption existing circumstances supposes by phosphate, and excess moisture tolerance that state funeral's structure is improved breaking does not affect in state funeral bond that only most single bond remains, and can know that does not suffer big impact in boric oxide anomaly present state. This phenomenon estimates that connect with structure change. It is thought according to link this result the phosphoric acid happened structural change. $B_2O_3$ displacement quantity 0.3 mole put out $BO_4$ structures, but above 0.3 mole it changed with the case $BO_3$ structure which it displaces.

E-glass fiber is the most widely used glass fiber for reinforced composite materials of aircrafts, automobiles and leisure equipments. But recently researches are being progressed to reduce boric oxide from 8 % to 0 (zero), as is called 'Boron free E-glass', because of increasing material cost, environmental problem, and improving chemical resistance and mechanical properties of E-glass fiber. In this study, we fabricated the bulk glass and fiber glass of 'Boron free E-glass (BF) compositions', and characterized thermal properties and optical properties. 'Boron free E-glass (BF)' was obtained by the melting of mixed batch materials at $1550^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs with different $Al_2O_3$ compositions 5~10 %. We obtained transparent clear glass with high visible light transmittance value of 81~86 %, and low thermal expansion coefficient of $4.2{\sim}4.9{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ and softening point of $907{\sim}928^{\circ}C$. For the chemical resistance test of 'BF' fiber samples, we identified that the higher alumina contents gives the better corrosion resistance of glass fiber.
