Fiber Glass Engineering

glass reinforced plastic (GRP). A single glass filament, thinner than human hair, has a tensile strength of approximately 500Ksi/3.5GPa, but essentially no compressive strength to achieve a structured building material, fibers are encased in a polymer resin matrix, which binds them together and allows imposed loads to be spread across the fibers. In addition to tensile strength fiber provides stiffness and impact resistance. Fiber Reinforced plastic, or FRP, encompassesan array of engineered materials that are specifically designed to put strength where it is needed while reducing the weight of a structure. Composite properties vary greatly depending on the combination of two components-the resin and the type and form of the fiber reinforcements as well as the method by which they are manufactured. Toughness
3. High strength to weight ratio
4. Durability with extended life
5. Low maintenance requirement
6. Weather & corrosion resistant
7. Excellent aesthetic appearance
