Advantages and application range of FRP profiles
Advantages • Lightweight and high strength: The density of FRP profiles is about 1.5-2.0g/cm³, which is only 1/4-1/5 of carbon steel, but its tensile strength is close to or even exceeds that of carbon steel, and its specific strength is comparable to that of high-grade alloy steel. For example, in the field of aerospace, the use of fiberglass profiles can greatly reduce the weight of aircraft, and in building structures, it can reduce the weight of the structure while ensuring strength, thereby improving the seismic performance of the building. 1 2 3. Corrosion resistance: It has good resistance to the atmosphere, water, and general concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts, and a variety of oils and solvents. It can be applied to all aspects of chemical corrosion protection, and can effectively resist the erosion of materials by harsh environments and extend the service life. It is especially suitable for humid, rainy, coastal areas and places with chemical corrosive media, such as chemical equipment, sewage treatment facilities, and marine engineering. 1 2 3. Good electrical properties: It is an excellent insulating material that can still maintain good dielectric properties at high frequencies and has good microwave transmittance. It can be used to manufacture insulators, such as radar antenna covers, and is widely used in electrical equipment, communication systems, and other fields that require insulation properties. 3 6 7. Good thermal properties: It has low thermal conductivity, which is only 50% of that of metal at room temperature. 1/100-1/1000, it is an excellent thermal insulation material. Under instantaneous ultra-high temperature conditions, it is also an ideal thermal protection and ablation-resistant material, which can protect the safety of related equipment or structures in high temperature environments. For example, it can be used for thermal protection components of aerospace vehicles.

1 3. • Strong designability: It can flexibly design products of various structures and shapes according to different usage requirements, and can fully select materials to meet the performance requirements of products in terms of corrosion resistance, instantaneous high temperature resistance, high strength in a certain direction, good dielectric properties, etc., to achieve integrated design of products and improve integrity and reliability. 3 5 8. • Excellent processability: It can flexibly select the molding process according to the shape, technical requirements, purpose and quantity of the product, and the process is simple, can be molded in one time, and has outstanding economic effects. For products with complex shapes, difficult molding and small quantities, it can better reflect its process advantages, which can effectively reduce production costs and improve production efficiency 3. • Good dimensional stability: The linear expansion coefficient is small, and its size changes little under different temperature environments, and it can maintain good stability. This is very important for some application scenarios with high requirements on dimensional accuracy, such as components of precision instruments and equipment, brackets for optical instruments, etc. 1. • Good shock absorption performance: It has a high shock absorption frequency, can absorb and consume a certain amount of vibration energy, has good shock absorption and seismic resistance, and can be used to manufacture some equipment components or structures that require shock absorption and noise reduction, such as vehicle body parts, shock-absorbing supports for bridges, etc.
1. • Rich colors: The surface can be coated with various coatings to make products of various colors to adapt to different use environments and aesthetic needs. It can be used in architectural decoration, landscape design and other fields that have requirements on appearance color. 1. Scope of application • Construction industry: It can be used to manufacture doors and windows, partitions, curtain walls, beams, columns, roof panels, ceilings, stairs,
handrails, balcony railings, shading systems, ventilation ducts, etc. When used in building structures, it can reduce the building's deadweight and improve its earthquake resistance. When used in doors and windows, it has good sealing, thermal insulation, and sound insulation properties, which can improve the building's comfort and energy-saving effects. 1 2 8. • Chemical industry: widely used in the manufacture of equipment such as storage tanks, reactors, pipelines, and fan blades. It can resist corrosion from various chemical media, ensure the safe and stable operation of the chemical production process, and improve the reliability and service life of the equipment. 2 4. • Transportation: suitable for the manufacture of fiberglass boats, bridges, tunnels, automobile body parts, and interior parts of rail transit vehicles. Its light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and insulation properties can meet the high-performance requirements of transportation vehicles for materials, reduce deadweight, and improve transportation efficiency and safety. 2 4. • Sewage treatment: can be used to make septic tanks, sewage treatment tanks, sewage pipes, etc. Because of its corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and no secondary pollution, it can be used stably for a long time in harsh sewage environments to ensure the normal operation of the sewage treatment system. 4. • Electrical communication field: As an excellent insulating material, it can be used to manufacture electric poles, cable bridges, antenna covers of communication base stations, etc., to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment and communication systems, and prevent accidents such as leakage and short circuit. 1 3 6. • Energy field: In wind power generation, it can be used to manufacture blades of wind turbines; in solar photovoltaic power generation, it can be used to manufacture support structures of solar panels, etc., using its advantages of light weight, high strength, and good weather resistance to improve the performance and service life of energy equipment. • Food and beverage industry: Because FRP profiles are non-toxic, odorless, and corrosion-resistant, they meet food hygiene standards and can be used to manufacture equipment parts, storage containers, and transportation pipelines in food processing plants. • Sports and leisure field: It can be used to manufacture seats, fitness equipment, amusement facilities, etc. in stadiums. Its high strength, good weather resistance, and rich colors can meet the needs of different places and users.
