What is FRP?
1. Overview of FRP Materials
FRP is also called GFRP, which means fiber reinforced plastic. It generally refers to reinforced plastics with glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin and phenolic resin matrix. It is called glass fiber reinforced plastic or FRP, which is different from tempered glass.
2. Characteristics of FRP Materials
1. Strength and Rigidity
FRP has high tensile strength and rigidity, making it a lightweight but strong structural material.
2. Lightweight
Compared to metal, FRP is a lightweight material suitable for applications that need to reduce
structural burden.
3. Corrosion resistance
FRP has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of chemicals, water and atmospheric conditions.
4. Insulation Performance
FRP is an electrical insulating material suitable for some applications that require insulation performance.
5. Design freedom
Due to the flexibility of the manufacturing process, FRP can be made into various shapes and sizes, providing design freedom.
6. Heat resistance
FRP has good high temperature resistance and is suitable for applications in high temperature environments.
7. Transparency
FRP can be designed into a transparent structure for use in situations where light is required but strength is also required.
