1、 Fiberglass
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is a composite material made from glass fiber and glass fiber products as reinforcing materials, and synthetic resin as a binder. It is called fiberglass reinforced plastic because of its high strength, which can be comparable to steel. Therefore, people also refer to fiberglass reinforced plastic as fiberglass.
2、 The performance of fiberglass
(1) The relative density of lightweight and high-strength steel ranges from 1.5 to 2.0, which is only 1/5 to 1/4 of that of carbon steel. However, its tensile strength is close to or even exceeds that of carbon steel, and its specific strength can be compared with high-grade alloy steel. It has excellent performance in product applications that require weight reduction.
(2) FRP is a good corrosion-resistant material with good resistance to atmospheric, water, and general concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts, as well as various oils and solvents. It has been applied in various aspects of chemical anti-corrosion and is replacing carbon steel, stainless steel, wood, non-ferrous metals, etc.
(3) Good designability allows for flexible design of various structural products as needed to meet usage requirements, resulting in excellent overall product integrity.
