FRP Square Tube 100 x 60 x 8 mm – Premium Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer Profile

Product Overview

Our FRP Square Tube 100 x 60 x 8 mm is a structural profile manufactured using pultrusion technology. This fiberglass reinforced polymer tube combines a high strength-to-weight ratio with corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where steel may require additional protection.

Key Benefits:

• Lighter than steel of equal external dimensions while providing adequate structural performance
• Corrosion-resistant in many chemical, marine, and industrial environments
• Non-conductive for electrical safety applications
• Low maintenance compared with painted or coated steel

FAQ

What are the dimensions of 100x60x8mm FRP square tube?

100mm height x 60mm width x 8mm wall thickness rectangular FRP tube. Cross-sectional area is sized for industrial structural applications.

What is the weight of 100x60x8mm FRP tube?

Approximately 1.8 kg/m. Density is typically 1.8-2.0 g/cm3, which reduces structural loading and transportation weight compared with metal profiles of equal external dimensions.

What is the modulus of elasticity?

Typical modulus of elasticity ranges from 25,000-35,000 MPa along the fiber axis. Provides stiffness for beams, columns, and framing while maintaining deflection limits under industrial loading.

Is 100x60x8mm FRP tube corrosion resistant?

Yes. FRP is resistant to many chemicals, moisture, saltwater, and industrial atmospheres. It is widely used in chemical plants, marine structures, wastewater facilities, and coastal projects.

What applications use 100x60x8mm FRP rectangular tube?

Industrial platform framing, equipment supports, handrail posts, structural columns, cooling tower frameworks, conveyor supports, and architectural features requiring lightweight strength.

What temperature range does it support?

Continuous operating temperature is typically -40degC to +80degC for standard resin. Special formulations can extend this range. Confirm requirements with our technical team.

Can 100x60x8mm FRP tube be customized?

Yes. Available in standard grey or custom colors. Special formulations can be supplied for fire retardancy, UV resistance, or high-temperature applications. Custom lengths up to 12m are available.

How does FRP tube compare to steel tube?

FRP tube is lighter than steel of equal external dimensions, non-conductive, and resistant to corrosion, often requiring less maintenance than painted or galvanized steel.
