Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Profiles
Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) profiles are widely used in constructions where environmental factors (including water, acid, weather influences) may affect the materials and the durability. The use of FRP profiles has various advantages compared to the use of traditional materials as steel and wood. Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) profiles are high in strength, corrosion-resistant, lightweight and have a long service life.
We offer you a wide range of composite profiles according to your requirements with different glass fibre reinforcements (GFRP) and resin matrices.
Standard FRP Composite Profiles
- rods
- tubes
- square-rods & square-bars
- C-profiles & Z-profiles
- angle-profiles
- U-profiles
- roof-corner profiles
- T-profiles & double-T-profile
- corner profiles
Features
FRP profiles offer several advantages in comparison to other materials:
- low weight
- high carrying capacities
- good electrical and thermal insulation
- resistant to chemicals and corrosion
- flame retardant or self-extinguishing
- Do not fade
Customized Design
FRP Profile are customized to your individual application.
Roving reinforcement (unidirectional fibres) are used to achieve high tensile and bending strength, mat complexes (multidirectional fibres) for increased longitudinal and transverse strength or combined lamination (e.g. mat/roving/mat) for good mechanical properties.
Optimized properites are achieved by utilization of different resin matrices: Polyester, Vinylester, Epoxy, Methacrylic and Polyurethane resin matrices are on offer.
Through a targeted selection of the fibre reinforcement, fibre arrangement and resin matrix, you can get a pultruded frp profile customized to your application. We would be happy to advise you as regards the suitable raw materials and design for your application.
