Application areas of FRP pultrusion profiles
With the development of technology in our society, FRP pultrusion profiles have become a popular choice in various fields due to their cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, affordability, eco-friendliness, and minimal waste generation.
(1) Petrochemical industry: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, FRP pultrusion profiles are used in the petroleum and chemical industries for electric and pneumatic lines, generator radiators, stairs and handrails, operating platforms, aisles, fuel tanks, switchboards, distribution rooms, drainage pipes and hunger supports for drainage systems. Berth identification signs, sea bed identification signs, oil well pumping rods, tower packing, supports, filter plate supports, etc.
(2) Electric power industry: Due to its good performance, FRP pultrusion machines and extrusion profiles are used as insulation support members. High-voltage FRP cable bridges, weak power FRP cable bridges, antenna columns, and high-voltage current joysticks.
(3) Construction industry: FRP pultrusion profiles mainly include: FRP angle, FRP round tube, FRP I-beam (FRP h-steel), FRP square tube, FRP channel steel, etc. It mainly replaces steel, wood, and aluminum. FRP pultruded sections are light in weight and easy to handle and transport. They require less equipment, workers, and installation time. In addition, pultruded structural profiles and structural systems can be installed in the field using standard tools. This reduces the risk of on-site injury and downtime associated with traditional materials and installation equipment.
(4) Marine industry: FRP pultrusion profile products are the ideal product choice, especially for marinas. Marinas are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, UV rays, and corrosive salt spray. Because fiberglass-reinforced plastics are resistant to all these conditions, they represent an alternative to steel and wood.
(5) Wastewater treatment industry: In wastewater treatment structural systems, many guardrails and grates used as aisle panels are used around water treatment ponds. In traditional engineering, guardrails and grating are made of metal materials, such as welded steel pipe, and then coated with rust-proof paint. And in sewage treatment, many with strong corrosive splash out of the water. Volatile water vapor has a strong corrosive effect on the metal parts. Over time, these metal parts rust and even damage. There are many hidden problems. Glass fiber-reinforced plastic extrusion profiles can effectively avoid these hidden problems.
