Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is a combination of environmentally friendly resins and fiberglass filaments that have been processed. After the resin is cured, the properties become fixed and cannot be returned to the pre-cured state. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of epoxy resin. After years of chemical improvement, it cures within a certain period of time with the addition of an appropriate curing agent. After curing, the resin has no toxicity precipitation, and at the same time begins to have some characteristics that are very suitable for the environmental protection industry.
Advantages of fiberglass reinforced plastic
1. FRP has high impact resistance
It has just the right amount of elasticity and very flexible mechanical strength to withstand strong physical impacts. At the same time it can withstand a long time 0.35-0.8MPa water pressure, so it is used to make sand filter tank.
2. FRP has excellent corrosion resistance.
Neither strong acid nor strong alkali can cause damage to its manufactured products. Therefore FRP products are used in chemical, medical, electroplating and other industries. It is made into pipes to facilitate the passage of strong acids, and is used in laboratories to make various containers that can hold strong acids and alkalis.
3. Long service life
Because the glass does not exist a problem of life. Its main component is silica. In the natural state, silica does not exist aging phenomenon. High-grade resin has a lifespan of at least 50 years under natural conditions.
4. Lightweight
The main component of FRP is resin, which is a substance less dense than water. A two-meter diameter, one-meter height, 5-millimeter thick FRP hatchery tank can be moved by one person.
5. Can be customized according to customer needs
General FRP products need corresponding molds during production. But in the production process, it can be flexibly modified according to customer requirements.
Uses of FRP
1. Construction industry: cooling towers, FRP doors and windows New, building structures, enclosure structures, indoor equipment and decorative parts, FRP flat panels, wave tiles, decorative panels, sanitary wares and overall bathrooms, saunas, surf baths, building construction templates, storage silo buildings, and solar energy utilization devices;
2. Chemical and chemical industry: corrosion-resistant pipes, storage tanks and tanks, corrosion-resistant transfer pumps and their accessories, corrosion-resistant valves, grills, ventilation facilities, and sewage and wastewater treatment equipment and their accessories, etc;
3. automobile and railroad transportation industry: automobile shells and other parts, all-plastic microcars, body shells of large buses, doors, inner panels, main columns, floors, bottom beams, bumpers, instrument panels, small passenger vans, as well as fire tankers, refrigerated trucks, and the cabs and machine covers of tractors;
4. for railroad transportation, there are train window frames, interior roof curved panels, roof tanks, toilet floors, baggage car doors, roof ventilators, refrigerated car doors, water storage tanks, and certain railroad communication facilities;
5. highway construction with traffic road signs, road signs, barrier piers, highway guardrails and so on. Boats and water transportation industry.
6. inland waterway passenger and cargo ships, fishing boats, hovercraft, all kinds of yachts, racing boats, high-speed boats, lifeboats, traffic boats, as well as glass fiber reinforced plastic navigational buoys floating drums and tethered pontoons, etc;
7. electrical industry and communication engineering: arc extinguishing equipment, cable protection pipes, generator stator coils and support rings and cone shells, insulated tubes, insulated rods, motor ring guards, high-voltage insulators, standard capacitor housings, motor cooling casing, generator windshield and other strong electrical equipment; distribution boxes and switchboards, insulated shafts, fiberglass enclosures, and other electrical equipment; printed circuit boards, antennae, radomes and other electronic engineering applications.
