FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic)


PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

FRP is a glass fiber laminate consisting of a uniform mat of high strength glass fibers imbedded in an organic resin. The
compound structure is heat cured to a solid material, which is lightweight, strong, and shatter-resistant, with excellent
physical properties. It is commonly used as wall and ceiling panels. FRP meets American FDA and Canada Agri-Food
requirements for direct food contact.
