FRP lining is the most common and most important means of corrosion control in heavy-duty anti-corrosion construction. Among them, hand-laid-up FRP is widely used because of its simple operation, convenience and flexibility. It can be said that in FRP anti-corrosion construction, hand-laid-up method

Traditionally, bus and coach manufacturers have tended to use traditional materials, such as extruded aluminium profiles, rather than composite profiles, due to the lower upfront cost of the former and out of habit. However, with global fuel prices soaring in recent months, composites could offer bus operators considerable savings due to higher integrated design possibilities and lower lifetime maintenance costs. Patrick Loock, head of the Specialty Composites Manufacturers practice, discusses the key advantages of using composite profiles over aluminium profiles in the manufacture of buses and coaches.

Do you have a project in mind but have no idea where to start? Let us help you. One of the first things you will want to do is decide what kind of fiberglass you want to use. Do you need to build up thickness fast? Are you concerned about strength? Do you have tight corners you are working with? Let us break things down a bit to help you decide if fiberglass cloth is right for your project or if you are needing chopped fiberglass mat. Keep in mind that you can actually use both together to achieve your desired outcome. Here is an overview -

Fiberglass is a form of fiber-reinforced plastic where glass fiber is the reinforced plastic. This is the reason perhaps why fiberglass is also known as glass reinforced plastic or glass fiber reinforced plastic. Cheaper and more flexible than carbon fiber, it is stronger than many metals by weight,

Pultruded composite panels create space for cyclists and pedestrians on the Marschall Jozef Pilsudski bridge in Poland. The walkway slab consists of 8 solid pultruded interlocking three-layer cavity profiles made of glass fibre reinforced composite material with a cross section of 500mm x 150mm. Due
