Key Features
- Corrosion-proof (impervious to moisture, acids, alkalis)
- Light weight and high stiffness (good load-bearing per unit mass)
- Low thermal expansion (stays true with temperature changes)
- Non-conductive and non-magnetic (electromagnetically transparent)
Benefits
- Long life in outdoor and industrial settings (no rust or rot)
- Dual strength along both legs (suits bracing, framing, trim)
- Smooth finish (no welding needed when installing)
Applications
- Bracing, framing and corner supports in chemical plants and wastewater treatment
- Structural frames for walkways, racks, or modular buildings
- Edging and corner guards on concrete steps or decks (like embedded rebar replacements)
- Marine decking and dock sections (resists salt water)
Technical Specifications
- Wide size range (e.g. 25×25×3 mm to 100×100×8 mm legs)
- Typical density ~1.8 g/cm³, tensile strength ~200–300 MPa (glass FRP)
- Can meet or exceed BS EN 13706 and ASTM standards for pultruded angles
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- Maintenance-free framing (no repainting or anti-corrosive coating required)
- Anti-slip option (surface veil can be textured for grip)
- Pest-proof and insulated (unlike wood, FRP resists termites and does not conduct electricity)
