FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) pipe is recognized for its lightweight yet durable nature. Crafted from a blend of glass fiber and resin matrix wound around a rotating mandrel, it incorporates quartz sand as a sand layer between the fibers. This advanced, meticulously engineered structure maximizes the materials' properties, enhancing rigidity while ensuring strength, stability, and reliability. Not only do these pipes offer exceptional resistance to chemical corrosion, but they are also lightweight, powerful, free from scaling, and highly impact-resistant. Compared to traditional steel pipes, FRP pipes boast a longer lifespan, lower overall cost, quicker installation, and greater safety and reliability.

What is FRP?

FRP consists of various raw materials, including resin, glass fiber (commonly referred to as yarn), curing agents, and customizable color pastes. These components are processed through specialized techniques to produce profiles of diverse shapes, sizes, and thicknesses.

Predominantly utilized in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, and drainage, fiberglass pipes have been rapidly gaining traction in various other sectors as well, with their production and applications expanding significantly over recent years.

Advantages of FRP

The high corrosion resistance of FRP makes it unaffected and non-degradable in harsh chemical environments. As a composite material, FRP employs glass fiber, cloth, tape, felt, and yarn as reinforcing elements, combined with synthetic resin as the matrix. With strength comparable to steel and additional attributes of glass such as color, shape, and corrosion resistance, it also offers electrical insulation and thermal properties, earning its moniker "glass fiber reinforced plastic".

Widely used in civil construction, production, breeding, and daily life, its benefits include long service life, low cost, reliable performance, no maintenance requirements, aesthetic appeal, customizability, easy cleaning, structural utility, and resistance to corrosion.
