FRP Flat Panel High strength and light weight Corrosion resistance Insulation

1. Core performance characteristics: taking into account both strength and practicality 

The reinforcement of high-strength and lightweight glass fiber allows the board to have a mechanical strength that far exceeds that of ordinary plastics (the tensile strength and bending strength are close to some metals), but the density is only 1/4 of steel and 2/3 of aluminum. No heavy lifting equipment is required during installation, which can significantly reduce the load-bearing load of buildings or equipment. It is especially suitable for roofs, partitions, equipment shells and other scenarios that require "lightweight + high strength".

Excellent corrosion-resistant resin matrix (such as unsaturated polyester resin, epoxy resin) itself is resistant to acid, alkali and salt spray, and glass fiber does not react with most chemical media. Therefore, FRP plates can resist the erosion of acids, alkalis, salt solutions and humid environments. They will not rust like metal plates or rot like wooden plates. They are widely used in strong corrosion scenarios such as chemical workshop floors, sewage treatment tank covers, and marine environment decoration.

Good insulation and flame retardancy

Insulation: FRP is a non-metallic composite material that is non-conductive and non-magnetic. It is an ideal electrical insulation material and can be used for distribution box partitions, high-voltage equipment protective covers, etc.;

Flame retardancy: By adding flame retardants, FRP sheets can meet the UL94 V0 level or GB 8624 B1 level flame retardant standards. They are not easy to burn when exposed to fire, and produce little smoke and no toxic gases when burning. They are suitable for interior decoration of buildings, subway/high-speed rail carriage components, etc.

2. Usage and processing characteristics: adapt to the needs of multiple scenarios

The surface properties are controllable, and the surface of the beautiful and durable board can be made into various forms such as smooth, frosted, or patterned. It can also be made into any color (such as imitation wood grain, imitation stone color) by adding color paste, without the need for additional spray painting. At the same time, the surface is highly dense, not easy to stain, easy to clean, and not easy to fade after long-term use. It is suitable for bathroom partitions, shopping mall decorative panels, etc.

Flexible processing, easy-to-form FRP plates can be produced through molding, pultrusion, hand lay-up and other processes, and can be customized with different thicknesses (usually 1-20mm), sizes (up to a whole plate of several meters long) and special-shaped structures (such as arcs, trapezoids), and secondary processing such as cutting, drilling, and bonding are easy. The shape can be quickly adjusted according to project needs and adapted to complex installation environments.

Anti-aging, long service life FRP panels used outdoors (such as roof lighting panels, billboard panels) can be added with anti-UV agents to resist natural aging factors such as sun, rain, wind, etc. The service life can reach 15-20 years, which is far longer than ordinary plastic panels (3-5 years) and wooden panels (5-8 years), and the subsequent maintenance costs are low.

Comparative dimensions Fiberglass panels Metal panels (steel/aluminum) Wooden panels Ordinary plastic panels

Weight Light (1.5-2.0g/cm³) Heavy (7.85g/cm³/2.7g/cm³) Medium (0.5-0.8g/cm³) Light (0.9-1.5g/cm³)

Corrosion resistance Excellent (resistant to acids, alkalis and salts) Poor (easy to rust/oxidize) Poor (easy to rot/moth-eaten) Moderate (partially acid-resistant, not solvent-resistant)

Insulation Excellent Poor (Conductivity) Moderate Excellent

Flame retardancy Customizable (V0 level) Poor (easy to conduct heat/burn) Poor (easy to burn) Poor (mostly flammable)

Service life (outdoor) 15-20 years 5-10 years (anti-corrosion treatment required) 3-5 years 2-5 years (easy to age)

In summary, FRP plates are widely used in many fields such as construction, chemical industry, transportation, and sanitary ware due to their core advantages of "lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy processing." They are especially suitable for "high requirements + complex environments" scenarios where traditional plates are difficult to adapt to.
