Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP): Composite Fiber Rods
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is also known as GRP or CSM. Traditional GRP is composed of high strength E-glass fibers impregnated with a variety of specialized proprietary resins.
Key Features of FIBER-LINE® Fiber Reinforced Polymer:
- Sizes Available: 0.50 mm – 5.00mm
- Dielectric (excluding carbon)
- Additional up-jacketing available up to 17.00 mm
- Oval & rectangular shapes available
- Rod printing available for accurate length reading
- Splicing & respooling services available
FIBER-LINE® resin chemistry is optimized for process conditions, fiber adhesion, and end-use application of the FRP. Resin impregnated fibers are chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly crosslinked thermoset matrix.
Fibers for FRP:
Performance Adding Coatings:
- FIBER-LINE® Colorcoat™ Color Identification for easy tracking
- Swellcoat™: Block Water Penetration (0.90 mm and larger only)
Packaging
FRP products are supplied on a variety of different size wood or plastics reels along with different lengths depending on the customer’s requirements. Alternate package solutions are also available at the customer's request.
