FRP Benefits

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.
