What Is FRP?

FRP –THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE

Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) is the strongest and most durable material in the world. It is lightweight with high strength and a corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional construction materials.

FRP is an engineered material made up of polymer/epoxy resins, reinforcement fibres and additives, to create an extremely strong and durable material that finds application in several sectors. The reinforcement fibre is chosen based on the requirement and application. Carbon fibre is commonly used in aircrafts, drones and other recreational equipment. Fibreglass is predominantly used where the combination of its properties and the cost is important. Aramid and Basalt fibres are used for specific use service conditions.

What makes FRP the ideal choice?

Properties of FRP

Lightweight

FRP components are extremely lightweight compared to other construction materials. This makes them safer, easier to work with, and cheaper to transport. They also don’t require sophisticated equipment to install.

Corrosion resistance and low maintenance

FRP is extremely durable, making it suitable for heavy-duty usage in a wide range of environments. Its corrosion resistance makes it capable of withstanding salt water, chemicals, and other harsh weather conditions without deterioration. This means it can last for up 50 years with very little need for maintenance or rebuilds.

Cost-efficacy

The low cost of acquisition, compared to traditional materials like steel and plastics, makes FRP cost effective, thus meeting today’s cost-driven market and environmental responsibilities.

Flexible design

FRP is engineered to meet the application requirements perfectly, thus making it the preferred choice for customization. Factors such as size, shape, colour, and functional features can be tailor-made, guaranteeing customer satisfaction.

Shorter production and installation time

Since FRP is prefabricated, it is an ideal choice for construction projects in public areas that have tight timelines and limited construction hours.
