What Is Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic

Glass fiber reinforced plastic is fiber reinforced plastic, generally refers to the use of glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin and phenolic resin matrix.  Characteristic  Light weight and high strength: the relative density is between 1.5 and 2.0, which is only 1/4 to 1/5 of carbon steel, but the tensile strength is close to or even exceeds that of carbon steel, and the specific strength can be compared with that of high-grade alloy steel. -Corrosion resistance: It has good resistance to atmosphere, water, general concentration of acid, alkali, salt and a variety of oils and solvents.-Good electrical properties: It is an excellent insulating material and is used to make insulators. -Good thermal performance: low thermal conductivity, 1.25 to 1.67 kJ/ (m · H · K) at room temperature, only 1/100 to 1/1000 of metal, is an excellent thermal insulation material. -Good designability: Various structural products can be flexibly designed according to the needs to meet the use requirements, which can make the products have good integrity.  Field of application:  -Construction industry: cooling towers, pipes, building structural parts, etc. -Chemical industry: used for storage tanks, pipelines, anti-corrosion equipment, etc. -Transportation: manufacture of automobile bodies, railway carriages, ship hulls, etc. -Electrical industry: making insulating poles, cable trays, etc.
