Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) products are a type of materials that are made up of is of a polymeric material (such as epoxy, vinyl-ester, or polyester) reinforced with a fiber (such as carbon, glass, Kevlar, basalt, etc.); therefore are named Fiber Reinforced Polymer or FRP. The fibers are the main source of strength and stiffness in FRP. The resin serves two primary purposes: a) it distributes the load among all fibers, and b) it protects the fibers from environmental effects such as abrasion, corrosion, etc. FRPs have physical properties that are different when measured along different axes or directions. By orienting the fibers in the desired direction, one can achieve the required strength in each direction. Three main types of FRP materials are described below.
Fiberglass Properties
The most significant glass fiber properties or glass fiber advantages are summerized below
- Well-distributed, uniform tensile strength, good vertical performance.
- Fast impregnation, good mold drapability, easily removing air bladder.
- High mechanical strength, less strength loss in wet condition.
Application
It has high mechanical property, anti-corrosion. Widely applied on yacht, auto, sports equipment, cooling tower.
