Why FRP?

Want the strength of steel without the weight? Advance’s fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) products have the advantage. Our material is corrosion-resistant, it’s fire retardant, and it has low conductivity. It’s available with anti-slip coating for worker safety. And it’s easy to install with standard tools. Whether you need FRP customized product or a complete FRP system with walkways, platforms, and stairs, Advance has the solution to match. In addition to our products, we offer in-house design, engineering, and fabrication capabilities to meet your project needs.

Wood rots. Steel rusts. Aluminum dents. Fiberglass reinforced plastic lasts.

Traditional building materials have their place. But for harsh, corrosive environments, Advance fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) is a smart choice.
 
Advance FRP fiberglass has the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight. It won’t corrode, rot, attract insect damage or conduct electricity. It can be formed into countless FRP profiles to fit your specs. And decades later when those other materials need to be replaced, it will still have plenty of life.
 
In short, fiberglass pultrusions give you a different way to solve your design challenges — one that can reduce costs and improve performance in the long run. To maximize these benefits, however, it’s best to design with the properties of fiberglass reinforced plastic in mind from the start. Our engineers and fabricators can help, so contact us with your questions.

Characteristics of FRP composites :

Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Composites bring enormous benefits to architecture, infrastructure, rail, automotive, aviation, aerospace, marine, defence, and many other industries. Their unique characteristics make them suited for a wide range of applications.
 
  • An FRP design begins by considering liquid polymer resins and formable reinforcing fibers. The finished component, or part, can be curved, corrugated, ribbed, or contoured into various shapes. Unlike homogeneous materials, the design of an FRP laminate, component, or system can be tailored at the material level to increase the strength and stiffness of the finished product.
  • 100% waterproof, corrosion-free material, and resistant to heat and cold.
  • The non-reprocess ability of FRP protects it from theft and extreme sunlight does not soften the material.
  • The strength-to-weight ratio in FRP is much higher than in other materials hence it is resistant to impact and non-brittle.
  • FRP is considered the best alternative material as it is light in weight and easy to handle.
  • The lightweight of FRP Products helps in easy handling and transportation.
  • We strictly adhere to industry quality and testing norms and leave no scope for error in producing quality products.
  • We deliver products with a longer life span, light weighted, and have the capability to withstand heavy loads.
  • Pioneers in the development of innovation in custom molding, we provide products with chemical resistance and slip resistance.
  • Due to the poor heat transfer properties of FRP, FRP Products do not absorb heat and remain at an average temperature under sunlight and non-conductor electricity.
  • Resins present in the FRP provide our products with corrosion resistance and strength.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)?

FRP grating is fiberglass reinforced plastic molded or pultruded into a framework that allows for ventilation and drainage while providing a strong, lightweight, slip-resistant surface for foot and some vehicle traffic.

Pultruded grating is a strong, lightweight, slip-resistant surface made of FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) that is suitable for pedestrian and some vehicular loads that provides ventilation and drainage. The parallel or crossed bars are made of pulled fiberglass reinforcement saturated with a resin and formed into the grating.
