Strip Fiberglass Profiles - Professional FRP/GRP Structural Solutions
Strip Fiberglass Profiles
Strip fiberglass profiles are flat structural elements manufactured through the pultrusion process. Made from glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass reinforced plastic (GRP), these strips provide corrosion resistance, electrical insulation and low weight for industrial and construction applications.
These profiles are produced using pultrusion machines and pultrusion dies. For a complete range of structural shapes, see our pultruded FRP profiles.
Manufacturing & Material Composition
Strip fiberglass profiles are manufactured by pulling continuous glass fiber reinforcements through a resin bath and a heated die. This process creates a composite with consistent cross-sectional dimensions and uniform fiber distribution along the length of the profile.
Glass Fiber Reinforcement: Continuous E-glass fibers for structural strength
Resin Matrix Options: Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy resins
Fiber Content: Optimized for strength-to-weight performance
