Glass fibre reinforced plastic profiles

Reinforcing materials such as glass fibres lend the plastic a new range of properties. This enables use of the polymers to be extended to new applications.

Glass fibre reinforcement for high performance

Benefits of glass fibre reinforced plastic profiles

Glass fibre reinforced plastic profiles offer numerous benefits:

  • Greater strength and rigidity: The incorporation of glass fibres substantially increases the strength of the plastic, but without significantly increasing its weight. This enhances the structural integrity of the profiles and extends their service life.
  • Weight reduction: The low weight of the glass fibre reinforced profiles reduces the overall mass of your products and machines, increasing efficiency and reducing energy costs. The improved mechanical properties also enable wall thicknesses to be reduced, which helps to reduce weight.
  • Corrosion resistance: Our plastic profiles are resistant to corrosive environments and extreme weather conditions. This extends the range of possible applications considerably, and reduces maintenance costs.
  • High resistance to extreme temperatures: The profiles are suitable for use in a wide temperature range, making them ideal for applications under a range of climatic conditions.
  • Design flexibility: Glass fibre reinforced plastic can be processed to produce complex geometries and designs that would be difficult to achieve with traditional materials.

Where are glass fibre reinforced plastic profiles used?

Our glass fibre reinforced plastic profiles are used in a wide variety of products in areas ranging from industrial applications to the construction sector. Here are some typical applications that benefit from the advantages of these high-performance materials:

  • Machinery enclosures and components: Robust and lightweight enclosures for industrial machines, capable of withstanding extreme loads whilst at the same time reducing weight.
  • Load-bearing systems and support structures: Load-bearing profiles for construction and infrastructure projects, offering high stability and resilience.
  • Vehicle components: Components such as structural and bodyshell profiles for vehicles, contributing to weight reduction and improved fuel efficiency.
  • Enclosures and shrouds for electronics: Protective enclosures for electronic devices, offering a high level of protection from external influences coupled with a long service life.
  • Solar module mounting structures: Stable and weather-resistant profiles for mounting solar modules, offering high load-bearing capacity, in all weathers.
  • Ventilation and air conditioning systems: Components for ventilation and air-conditioning technology that can be manufactured with insulating or heat exchange properties, and with corrosion-resistant characteristics that make them ideal for use in demanding environments.

These products embody the versatility and performance of our glass fibre reinforced plastic profiles and demonstrate how they can increase the efficiency and longevity of your applications.
