These Fibreglass GRP angles are pultruded in a polyester matrix.
The fibreglass layup is a combination of multi-layered cross-ply glass fibre fabrics, giving an enhanced across the axis strength for all round excellent mechanical properties.
GRP angles are pultruded to BS EN 13706 standard. Profile thickness less than 6mm (t) to E17 (full section modulus, GPa17). Structural profile thickness 6mm (t) and greater to E23 (full section modulus, GPa 23).
Fiberglass angle is a structural component made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP, GRP) in an L-shaped cross-section. Its durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties make it an ideal choice in construction, industrial, marine, and many outdoor applications. Here are some common uses:
1. Construction and Building: Used in frameworks, supports, and structural reinforcements, especially in corrosive environments or where metal may degrade over time, such as in coastal areas.
2. Electrical and Telecommunications: Fibreglass is non-conductive, making fibreglass angle ideal for electrical supports, enclosures, and cable trays to prevent electrical hazards.
3. Marine and Water Treatment Facilities: Its resistance to corrosion from water and chemicals makes it useful in dock construction, aquaculture, and wastewater plants.
4. Outdoor Structures: Its UV stability makes it ideal for use in signposts, fencing, handrails, and ladder systems.
5. Industrial and Chemical Processing: Used as supports, brackets, and frames in chemical plants where it can withstand exposure to some harsh chemicals.
Fibreglass angle can offer a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to steel, aluminium, or wood in many of these settings.
