Glass-reinforced plastic

Excellent corrosion resistance

Glass-reinforced plastic

Glass-reinforced plastic is a composite structure made of resins and fibres, used for the manufacture of durable products for industrial applications that require high corrosion resistance.

High thermal resistance when compared with thermoplastic:
Liquids ...+125 °C
Gases...+180 °C

  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Good strength properties that can be optimised by orienting the reinforcing elements in accordance with stress
  • Low thermal conductivity
  • Insulating capacity 200 times better than that of steel
  • A low thermal expansion coefficient
  • Lightness of material
  • A favourable strength-to-weight ratio
  • Easy mouldability
  • Can be coloured in manufacture
  • Good wear resistance
  • Can be combined with a variety of materials: for example, the low strength properties of thermoplastic can be substantially improved
