Flexible Pultrud FRP Core Rod Plastic Reinforced Surface Smooth

The use of FRP members in construction offers a multitude of benefits that surpass traditional materials like steel and concrete. One of the most significant advantages of FRP members is their lightweight nature, which reduces both transportation and installation costs. This makes them an attractive option for large-scale construction projects that require the transportation of numerous building materials.

Moreover, FRP members are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in harsh environments where traditional materials would deteriorate rapidly. This makes them a popular choice for construction projects located near the coast or in areas with high humidity or chemical exposure.

Another significant advantage of FRP members is their excellent fatigue resistance. This means that they can withstand cyclic loading without weakening or breaking down over time. This makes them suitable for structures that are subjected to repeated stress, such as bridges, walkways, and other infrastructure.

Overall, the use of FRP members in construction offers a range of benefits that make them an attractive alternative to traditional materials. Their lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance make them ideal for use in a wide range of applications, from large-scale construction projects to small-scale infrastructure.

Properties of Non-metallic FRP Rod Strength Member

A. High strength
FRP is stronger than structural steel on a pound-for pound basis.

B. Light weight
FRP is 20-25% the weight of steel and 70% the weight of aluminum. FRP are easily transported, handled and lifted into place.

C. Anti-corrosion
FRP will not rot and are impervious to a broad range of corrosive elements. This feature makes FRP a natural selection for indoor or outdoor structures in corrosive environments.

D. Electro-magnetic transparency
FRP are transparent to radio waves, microwaves and other electromagnetic.

E. Non-conductive
FRP has low thermal/ electrical conductivity.

F. Dimensional stability
The coefficient of thermal expansion of FRP is slightly less than steel and significantly less than aluminum.
