Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)
Cladding with Global Specifications and Exceptional Standards
Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)
Also known as fiberglass, it is a composite material made by combining a polymer matrix (usually a type of plastic such as polyester, epoxy, or vinyl ester) with glass fibers. The glass fibers provide high strength and rigidity, while the plastic matrix binds the fibers together, transfers loads between them, and protects them from environmental damage.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) combines:
Key Components
Glass fibers (70%)
Strength, durability
Thermoset polymer resin (30%)
Binding, protection
