FRP
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics

FRP, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics, is a comprehensive line of sheet and profiles which are both nonconductive and corrosion resistant. Pound for pound, these FRP products are stronger than steel. Weighing 80% less than steel, these fiberglass pultrusions have tensile strengths of 30,000 psi. FRP products are a combination of fiberglass reinforcement and thermoset polyester or vinyl ester resin systems.

FRP sheet and profiles offer the engineer, architect, maintenance man and fabricator a structural material for solving many design and plant engineering problems. Where environmental conditions indicate, FRP provides a blend of properties to cope with corrosion problems.

In addition to its corrosion resistant characteristics, FRP is nonconductive, nonmagnetic and dimensionally stable. Choose from three types: Type 500, the standard, all purpose series, Type 525 which is fire retardant or type 625 with vinyl ester resins for superior corrosion resistance.
