Why Our Fiberglass Profiles Outperform Steel in Corrosive Environments
Traditional steel structures in chemical plants, offshore platforms, and water treatment facilities often suffer from rust, pitting, and structural failure within a few years. Our pultruded FRP profiles eliminate those risks entirely. They do not corrode, even when submerged in aggressive liquids or exposed to high humidity. Their 30% higher load capacity relative to steel means you can use smaller cross-sections to achieve the same strength, saving material and weight. Additionally, the non-conductive nature of fiberglass prevents galvanic corrosion when in contact with metals – a common headache in mixed-material projects.
Perfect for These Industries
- Chemical Processing: Platforms, walkways, pipe supports in acid/alkali atmospheres.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Weir plates, handrails, grating supports.
- Marine & Offshore: Dock fenders, boat hull components, seawalls.
- Oil & Gas: Cable trays, ladder rails, structural frames in refineries.
- Food & Beverage: Hygienic framing for washdown areas.
- Electrical: Transformer platforms, insulator supports.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: How do these profiles compare to steel in terms of fire resistance?
A: Our standard profiles are self-extinguishing and can be formulated to meet UL 94 V-0 flame retardancy upon request. However, steel may retain structural integrity at higher temperatures for longer periods. For fire-critical applications, we recommend combining FRP with fire protection coatings or choosing a higher fire-rated resin. -
Q: Can I cut and drill these profiles on-site?
A: Yes, they can be cut using standard woodworking or carbide-tipped tools and drilled with regular HSS bits. No special equipment is required, but we advise using proper dust control as the glass fibers may irritate skin. -
Q: Are these profiles UV-stable? Will they yellow or weaken in sunlight?
A: We offer an optional UV-resistant surface veil that protects the underlying resin from degradation. Without this, prolonged direct sunlight may cause surface chalking and gradual strength loss. For outdoor use, we recommend specifying the UV-protected version. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for custom shapes and lengths?
A: For standard shapes (I-beam, channel, angle), lead time is 15–20 business days. Custom profiles require an additional tooling lead time of 2–4 weeks depending on complexity. Please contact us for a precise schedule. -
Q: Do you provide engineering support for structural design?
A: Yes, our team can assist with load calculations, span tables, and joint recommendations. We also provide FEA data for custom projects upon request. -
Q: How do you ensure consistent quality from batch to batch?
A: We follow strict process controls including raw material verification, in-line cure monitoring, and mechanical testing per ASTM D3918 (or equivalent). Every production lot is traceable and accompanied by a test certificate. -
Q: Can these profiles be used in food contact areas?
A: Yes, we can supply profiles made with FDA-compliant resin systems suitable for incidental food contact. Please specify your requirement when ordering. -
Q: What is the maximum length you can produce?
A: We can produce continuous lengths up to 12 meters. Longer lengths may be possible with special handling – please consult our sales team for longer spans.
