FRP Technology: Understanding Fiber-Reinforced Polymers

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), also known as fiber-reinforced plastic, is a composite material consisting of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. This combination enhances mechanical and material properties, making FRP a preferred choice across various industries.

Components

  • Matrix: Epoxy, vinylester, polyester – binds fibers, resists corrosion.
  • Fibers: Fiberglass, carbon, aramid, basalt – high tensile strength.

Manufacturing

  • Lay-up: Flat/cylindrical surface placement.
  • Molding: Female, male, or enclosed molds.
  • Vacuum Infusion: Resin-infused under vacuum.

Components

  • Strong & lightweight
  • Corrosion-resistant
  • Durable & long-lasting
  • Flexible design
  • Low maintenance
  • Non-conductive & radar-transparent

Applications

  • Aerospace & automotive
  • Marine & construction
  • Ballistic armor & safety
