Fiber composites are made up of fibers and resin. The resin and configuration are what determines the specific advantages of a fiber product. The fibers can be arranged continuously, woven, or chopped – each type provides differences in strength reinforcement, density, and weight. The resin mixture determines the level of corrosion resistance, temperature/fire resistance, UV resistance, and can also be formulated to be conductive or halogen-free.
Fiber (FRP/GRP) products offer many advantages compared to traditional materials like stainless steel, concrete, or wood. With its extreme corrosion resistance, fiber products are the most cost effective over a lifetime for many applications. They also provide high strength, low weight, ability to withstand high temperatures, and customization capabilities
