What is FRP and what are its advantages?

FRP is actually a fiber-reinforced plastic formed by reinforcing unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin and phenolic resin matrix with glass fiber. Simply put, FRP is a kind of plastic.

What is FRP？

1. FRP is abbreviated as FRP, also known as GFRP. FRP generally refers to glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin and phenolic resin matrix, and glass fiber or its products as reinforced plastics, called glass fiber reinforced plastics, or FRP, which is different from tempered glass.

2. Because FRP has very good corrosion resistance, it has good resistance to the atmosphere, water and general concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts, and various oils and solvents. Therefore, it is widely used in various aspects of chemical anticorrosion, and is replacing carbon steel, stainless steel, wood, non-ferrous metals, etc.

3. Because of its outstanding characteristics, FRP is also widely used in the architectural decoration industry and made into various products, such as building structures, enclosure structures, indoor equipment and decorative parts, FRP flat panels, corrugated tiles, decorative panels, FRP Covers, sanitary ware and overall toilets, etc.

Is FRP an alloy or a composite material?

1. FRP is a composite material formed of glass fiber and synthetic resin. FRP is a synthetic material made of glass fiber and its products (glass cloth, tapes, felt, yarn, etc.) as reinforcing material and synthetic resin as matrix material.

2. FRP has many superior properties. For example, the relative density of FRP is only 1/4~1/5 of that of carbon steel, but its tensile strength is close to that of carbon steel, and its strength can be compared with that of high-grade alloy steel. comparable to.

Therefore, it is widely used in construction industry, chemical industry, automobile and railway transportation industry, railway transportation and other fields.
