Glass fibre Box Section 50mm x 20mm available in 2.5m lengths. Wall thickness is 4mm.
Fibreglass - GRP square profiles 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, 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, GPa23).
Fibreglass box section profiles can be used for a wide range of applications due to their strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Here are some common uses:
1. Structural Supports: Fiberglass box sections are often used in construction and industrial settings as supports and beams because they are strong yet lightweight. They can be used to build frameworks, scaffolding, platforms, and other structural elements.
2. Electrical Insulation: Fibreglass is non-conductive, making it an ideal material for housing or supporting electrical cables and equipment in environments where electrical insulation is critical, like power substations or transformer enclosures.
3. Chemical Environments: In environments exposed to corrosive chemicals or harsh weather, such as in chemical plants or marine applications, fibreglass box sections are resistant to rust and corrosion, making them a better choice over metal.
4. Railings and Fencing: Fiberglass box sections are sometimes used to construct railings, fencing, especially in places that need non-conductive, rust-proof materials, such as near power lines or in coastal areas.
5. Water Treatment Facilities: In water and wastewater treatment facilities, where exposure to chemicals and moisture is constant, fiberglass box sections provide a long-lasting, corrosion-resistant option.
6. Lightweight Structures for Transportation: The lightweight nature of fiberglass makes it useful in transportation industries, where fiberglass box sections might be used for frames in vehicle interiors, racks, or compartments.
Fibreglass box sections are adaptable and provide durability, making them ideal for projects where weight, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation are essential.
