Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) products are finished products processed with resin and glass fibers as raw materials.FRP products are mainly FRP storage tanks, FRP mixing tanks, FRP cooling towers FRP water tanks FRP tables and chairs FRP pipelines, and FRP trash cans. The scientific name of FRP is glass fiber reinforced plastic, commonly known as FRP. It is a new type of composite material developed by foreign countries in the early 20th century, which has many advantages such as light weight, high strength, anticorrosion, heat preservation, insulation, sound insulation and so on. Because of its strength is equivalent to steel, but also contains glass components, also has the color, shape, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, heat insulation and other properties like glass, like glass, the history of the formation of this easy to understand the name "FRP".
The origin of FRP
Traditional glass is hard and easy to break, with good transparency and corrosion-resistant effect; while the steel material is hard enough not easy to break, but also very resistant to high temperatures, but does not have good permeability. Clever people after countless times back and forth test research, finally produced a hardness is not weaker than the steel material with high temperature and corrosion resistance, not easy to break and other characteristics of the fiberglass.
Characteristics of FRP
Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) combines the advantages of traditional glass and steel in one, it is very light in weight, the relative density of 1.5-2.0, only carbon steel 1/4-1/5, but its tensile strength is close to carbon steel, or even more than carbon steel. It also has a very light corrosion resistance, good resistance to atmosphere, water and general concentration of acids, alkalis, salts and a variety of oils and solvents. In addition to this, FRP has excellent properties such as good insulation and designability.
The role of FRP
The characteristics of FRP such as strange shape, customizable, and random color mixing are favored by various merchants and sellers. Railroad industry, shipbuilding industry, electrical industry and communication engineering and other types of industries. The main FRP products used in these industries are cooling towers, corrosion-resistant pipes, automobile manufacturing materials and components, train windows, large steel ship supporting parts, cable protection tubes and so on.
What is FRP? I believe that after reading the article, the glass fiber reinforced plastic have a certain understanding of it. Fiberglass reinforced plastic is not only lightweight and high strength, and corrosion resistance, whether it is moisture, or acid and alkali, it is difficult to erode it away. In the process, the use of glass fiber reinforced plastic is also very wide, its design is also very outstanding. Fiberglass reinforced plastic products in our lives gradually become familiar, it replaces the use of some of the metal and plastic materials in our lives. The end of the introduction, I hope to be able to help you.
