FRP
FRP by Formglas is a versatile lightweight material that is durable and may be cast in a virtually endless array of shapes, colors and textures.
Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is a thermoset plastic composite constructed from many combinations of polymer resins, organic fillers, and fiberglass reinforcements engineered to achieve a desired performance from the product being produced. The greatest advantage of a fiberglass composite is the design flexibility it offers to architects, designers and fabricators, and the long-term durability of the material.
FRP by Formglas
- Can be produced in virtually any shape, and with Formglas' world class 3D modeling and 5-axis tooling capabilities, parts can be precision engineered. Curved, ribbed, corrugated or perforated components are just some of the possibilities
- May be supplied in an extensive array of finishes – smooth or textured and in a range of colors. Formglas' world-class mold making expertise allows designers to extend their design boundaries
- Is amongst the strongest of all building materials with strength characteristics consistent with concrete, steel or aluminum
- Provides a long lifespan as this durable material will stand-up to decades of harsh weather. Although readily painted, color can be integral to the gel coat face thus providing a low maintenance, UV-resistant long-lasting product. FRP is also corrosion resistant and can therefore be used in harsh or extreme environments
- Is lightweight therefore requiring less labor and lighter supporting structures or substrates, thus reducing the cost of construction and installation, and speeding up construction
- Is supplied as a Class-A fire rated product thereby making it an excellent choice for most facets of a building's exterior or interior
