WHAT IS GRP?
Glass Reinforced Polyester - Also known as 'Fibreglass'
The unique properties of Fibreglass make it suitable for a wide range of product applications, and offer advantages that are not found in other types of construction.
These advantages include:
DESIGN FREEDOM
High degree of design flexibility. The practical uses of fibreglass are virtually endless, limited only by your imagination. Fibreglass opened many new avenues for creative designers. Its unique physical properties allow it to be easily tooled, molded and manufactured to meet almost any specifications. Because there are few constraints on size, shape, color or finish, the styling and appearance can take precedence over manufacturing costs.
AFFORDABILITY
This design freedom and the easiness to work make fibreglass an economical alternative for the manufacture of any component or finished product in any quantity.
VERSATILITY
The lightweight strength of fibreglass has always made it a popular choice for manufacturing. Fibreglass offers distinct advantages in a wide range of products; its reduced weight and maintenance make it attractive on architectural projects. More and more industries are discovering the benefits of its versatility.
TRENGTH & DURABILITY
High strength to weight ratio and high flexural strength. Fibreglass is an attractive lightweight material that builds strength into almost any finished product or component. Pound for pound fibreglass can be stronger than steel and sheet metals. Highly resistant to environmental extremes. Fibreglass is built to last. Dollar for dollar, fibreglass reinforced plastic products provide better performance than plain non-reinforced plastic units.
APPEARANCE
Fibreglass parts are gel-coated in their molds with a choice of flat, semi-gloss or high gloss color eliminating the need for painting. In highly corrosive environments gel-coats are much more durable than most paints. Fibreglass products can be manufactured in numerous finishes, textures and colors.
MOULDED LOOK
With sheet metal, you get a plain box. Fibreglass parts have sleek contours and a superior molded appearance with high visibility colors.
DIELECTRIC
Fibreglass is non-conductive, RF transparent, and helps to insulate against electromagnetic fields, making Fibreglass the obvious choice for electrical and electronic equipment storage.
CORROSION - ENVIRONMENTALLY TOUGH
Fibreglass is non-corrosive and has a much longer life expectancy when compared to a variety of construction materials. In highly corrosive environments Fibreglass is the preferred choice over metal, wood, or plastic. A popular choice where exposure to harsh environments is a concern, Fibreglass provides resistance to ultra violent light, extreme temperatures, salt air, and a variety of chemicals including most acids. Because fiberglass is chemically inert and corrosion-resistant, it offers an economical alternative to stainless steel.
SOUND DEADENING
Fibreglass provides superior acoustical properties when compared to plastic or metal. Various type of sound deadening materials can be laminated between high strength layers of Fibreglass matte to achieve the preferred level of sound deadening. Stability Fiberglass exhibits the least amount of expansion and / or contraction when compared to plastic, wood, or metals. Fibreglass parts have excellent dimensional stability and will hold their shapes under severe mechanical and environmental
LOW MAINTENANCE
Fibreglass parts require very little maintenance - no rust, no painting, no wood rot. Tired of costly maintenance associated with repairing or replacing expensive equipment?
GRP Specifications
Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) is a light, durable and astonishingly tough constructional material which can be fabricated into all manner of products. It may be translucent, opaque or coloured, flat or shaped, thin or thick. GRP is a composite of a resilient durable resin with an immensely strong fibrous glass. The resin is the main component and is normally a polyester resin. Just as concrete may be reinforced with steel rods, so polyester resins may be reinforced with glass fibres to form GRP. This is the fabrication process, a single surface mould on which is impregnated layers of glass mat with liquid resin until the required thickness has been built up and the laminate is then extracted from the mould. Glass fibre is one of the strongest of all materials. The ultimate tensile strength of a freshly drawn single glass filament (diameter 9-15 microns) is about 3.5 GPa. It is made from readily available materials, it is non-combustible and chemically resistant.
GRP AS A STRUCTURAL MATERIAL
The greatest advantage of GRP over conventional materials is the ability to design and build large structures conceived as a whole and not as an assembly of parts which have to be jointed together. Another advantage of GRP is the possibility of varying the thickness of the material locally and of increasing the strength characteristics at any point in any direction simply by making intelligent use of the glass fibre reinforcement.
GENERAL CONCEPTS
When GRP is compared with the metals, it replaces the properties and advantages of those materials. When both steel and light alloy are selected - because they are widely used. The two principal differences between GRP and metals are in modulus and density. Lack of stiffness is the most distinctive feature of GRP from an engineering design standpoint. Elongation at break is usually between 1 and 2% compared with about 40% for steel. On the other hand the deformation of unidirectional GRP is almost elastic to the point of failure, whereas the elastic point for steel is about 0.2%metals.
GRP PERFORMANCE
One of the design considerations is the expected performance of the product in the environment in which it is to operate in practice. Several tests have been conducted in order to predict the likely performance of our products in most applications. The weather and water resistance of GRP laminates is largely a function of the gel coat since in most applications it is the gel coat surface, which is exposed to attack. The recommended gel coat is used where resistance to water and mild chemicals is required. For optimum chemical resistance combined with high structural performance a resin rich surface is obtained on the face of the moulding, which is exposed to the hostile environment.
