FRP Pultruded Sections
FRP Pultruded Sections - A Smarter Building Material
When it comes to building strong and lasting structures, the choice of material makes all the difference. For many years, steel and aluminum were the obvious picks. However, today, Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) has become a practical alternative, particularly in areas where rust and corrosion are significant concerns.
What are FRP Pultruded Sections?
Pultrusion is a method used to make FRP profiles such as beams, angles and channels in long, continuous lengths. These sections are light in weight but still very strong. Unlike steel, they don’t rust or corrode, making them ideal for industries that deal with water, salt, or chemicals on a regular basis.
Why FRP is a Better Choice
- Resistant to Corrosion - They last longer even in wet or chemical-heavy environments.
- Light but Strong - Easier to carry, move, and install compared to heavy steel parts.
- Low Upkeep - No need for regular painting or coatings.
- Flexible Design - Can be made in many shapes and sizes, including custom designs.
- Safe Around Electricity - Since they don’t conduct, they’re perfect for areas with electrical setups.
Where FRP is Used
You’ll find FRP pultruded sections in:
- Platforms, walkways, and support frames.
- Chemical plants and marine industries where corrosion is common.
- Electrical substations and utility areas that need non-conductive materials.
- Bridges, cooling towers, and even modern architecture.
A Long-Term Investment
The upfront cost of FRP can sometimes be higher than steel, but the savings show up later. With less maintenance, longer life, and easier installation, FRP often works out to be more cost-effective in the long run.
In Summary
FRP pultruded sections give you the strength of steel without the usual downsides like rust, heavy weight, or constant upkeep. They’re a reliable choice for industries that value safety, durability, and long-term performance.
