FRP is stronger than structural steel on the pound-to-pound basis. It has been used to buildings, walkway, sub-floors, and decks.
FRP is 20-25% of the weight of steel and 70% the weight of aluminum. FRP is easily carried, handled and lifted in place. Total structures can often be preassembled and shipped to the job site ready for installation.
FRP does not rot and is impervious to a wide range of corrosive elements. This feature makes FRP a natural selection for internal or external pulp structures and paper mills, chemical plants, water, and sewage treatment plants, structural near salt water and other corrosive environments.
FRP is transparent to radio waves, microwaves and other electromagnetic. It is widely used to make antennas.
FRP has low thermal electrical conductivity.
The coefficient of FRP thermal expansion is slightly less than steel and significantly less than aluminum.
FRP are pigmented throughout the thickness of the part and can be made to virtually any desired custom color. Special surface veils are also available to create special surface appearances such as grain, marble, granite, etc. wooden.
FRP pultruded pipes and tubes are manufactured through pultrusion process after choosing the correct raw materials including resin, fibers, and additives according to the requirement of profiles including mechanical strength, electrical insulation, etc. anti-corrosion.
FRP pultruded pipes and tubes can meet customer's requirements using a different combination of resin, fibers, and others. FRP pultruded pipes offer a unique combination of chemical resistance, size stability, high strength, and thermal/electrical conductivity, etc.
FRP pultruded pipes and tubes are widely used and according to their diameter can be used as umbrella frames, underground cable jackets, cable cores (bearing tensile stress), shovel and hammer handles, limbs. exterior handrails, handrails, water pipes, and antenna covers of mobile telecommunications.
