What is FRP?
POLYESTER RESIN + FIBER REINFORCEMENT
FRP, fiberglass reinforced panel, is a composite made from fiberglass reinforcement in a plastic matrix. Selecting the type and configuration of the reinforcement allows a wide variety of physical strengths and mechanical properties to be designed into the FRP composite. Choosing the type of resin formulation and additives within the matrix can optimize properties such as UV resistance, cleanability and durability. These options allow for a wide range of mechanical, chemical, and physical properties to be obtained. As an engineered material, FRP composites can be designed and produced to achieve specific performance goals with minimal waste, often reducing weight and cost compared to traditional materials like woods, metals, or ceramics.
