FRP products are a cost effective alternative to steel in many of the harshest industrial environments. The advantages of FRP products over other materials include:
Corrosion Resistant
Fibre Reinforced Polymer materials are designed to operate in aggressive environments. Little or no coating or treating required.
Low maintenance requirements
Designed and engineered to last, composite structural materials are virtually maintenance free.
Impact resistant
Inherent flexibility allows products to resist impact and failure.
Non-conductive and Non metallic
FRP constructions provide additional safety by stopping sparks and potential electrical hazards.
Fire Retardant
FRP has a low flame spread index when tested under ASTM E-84 and meets self extinguishing requirements of ASTM D-635.
High strength-to-weight ratio
The strong, but light weight alternative where heavy lifting or access is an issue.
Reduced installation time and cost
FRP products are easier and lighter to install. Normal ‘hand tools’ are used to make adjustments. |
