High-Performance Composites: FRP, GRP, CFRP & Pultruded Profiles

Our range of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP), Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP), Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), and pultruded profiles offers superior strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility for a wide array of applications. These advanced composites provide a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional materials like steel and aluminum in many industries.

Understanding the Materials:

• Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP): This is a broad category encompassing various composite materials reinforced with fibers embedded in a polymer matrix. The type of fiber determines the material's properties. We offer profiles using various fiber types, tailored to specific application needs.
• Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP): A common type of FRP, GRP uses glass fibers (typically E-glass) as reinforcement within a polymer matrix, usually polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy resin. GRP profiles are known for their excellent strength, stiffness, and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for a wide range of structural and non-structural applications.
• Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP): This high-performance composite utilizes carbon fibers as reinforcement, offering exceptional strength and stiffness compared to GRP. CFRP profiles are lightweight yet incredibly strong, ideal for applications demanding high performance and weight reduction. They are often used in aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods industries.

Pultrusion Process:

All our profiles are manufactured using the pultrusion process. This continuous manufacturing method allows for the production of long, consistent profiles with precise dimensions and superior quality. The process involves pulling continuous fiber reinforcement through a resin bath and then through a heated die to cure the composite material. This results in:

• High-Strength Profiles: Consistent fiber alignment throughout the profile leads to maximized strength and stiffness.
• Precise Dimensional Accuracy: Pultrusion yields profiles with tight tolerances, reducing the need for secondary machining.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The continuous nature of the process allows for high-volume production at a competitive price.
• Customizable Profiles: We offer a wide range of standard profiles and can also create custom designs to meet specific requirements.

Applications:

Our FRP, GRP, CFRP, and pultruded profiles find applications across various sectors, including:

• Construction: Reinforcement bars, structural beams, decking, and cladding.
• Infrastructure: Bridge components, railway sleepers, and utility poles.
• Automotive: Body panels, structural components, and interior parts.
• Aerospace: Aircraft components, satellite structures, and drone frames.
• Marine: Boat hulls, decks, and structural components.
