Description
Our pultruded GRP Box Profiles are available in multiple sizes and comply with BS EN 13706 E23/E17 standards. Stocked in 6000mm lengths. We can cut these down for you – for details click here
- Exceptional strength: on a weight to weight basis, GRP Box Section profiles are stronger than structural steel. The excellent impact strength of GRP profiles reduce damage caused by accidental collisions
- Lightweight: weighing up to 80% less than steel and 30% less than aluminium, GRP structural profiles provide equivalent performance for considerably less weight
- Corrosion resistant: GRP profiles are generally unaffected by exposure to a wide variety of corrosive chemicals and environments. A synthetic surface veil is applied, to provide a resin rich layer, thereby enhancing the already excellent corrosion resistant properties
- Maintenance-free: the corrosion resistant properties of our GRP profiles remove the necessity of periodic painting or surface treatment
- Low thermal conductivity: all of our GRP profiles have a low thermal conductivity. For example they are around 1/250 of aluminium, and 1/60 of steel
- Non-conductive: GRP Box Section profiles are electrically non-conductive, making their specification ideal for cable trays, ladders, cover boards etc.
- Electromagnetic transparency: GRP Pultrusion is transparent to radio-waves, microwaves and other electromagnetic frequencies. Therefore, GRP profiles are ideal for aerial masts and radar applications
- Dimensional stability: fibreglass profiles are resistant to stretching, warping, or swelling over a wide range of temperatures and physical stresses
- Thermal stability: GRP structural profiles are capable of withstanding continuous exposure to temperatures of up to 65 degrees C
