In this process, glass is sprayed in the form of thin strands through a special gun, chopped, and immediately mixed with resin. The resulting glass fiber-resin mixture forms a strong, durable material with fibers lying in various directions, giving it unique strength.
This method is excellently suited for producing various types of containers, from stock tanks, swimming pools and garden ponds to waste containers for hazardous materials. The flexibility in shaping that the spray-up lamination process allows is one of the greatest advantages of FRP. Designers and engineers can realize complex forms and structures without the limitations associated with conventional materials like metal.
Another critical advantage of fiberglass-reinforced plastic is its low weight combined with exceptional durability. FRP products are resistant to corrosion, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress, making them an ideal choice for applications requiring a long lifespan without regular maintenance. Compared to metal products, which are prone to corrosion and often need to be repaired or replaced, FRP products offer significant time and cost savings over their entire lifespan.
