Why Use Fiberglass

Versatility

Fiberglass can be tooled, molded, and fabricated into almost any shape or design.  There are little restrictions of finish, shape or size.  This will offer countless opportunities to architects, artists and designers, thus, allowing for their creativity to flow. If it is imaginable odds are we can make it. The finished products will be stronger as well as lighter, low maintenance and in most cases cost less to manufacture then most comparable materials.

Affordability

Fiberglass is very affordable, making it a cost effective solution for almost any application or part. Once plugs and molds have been created, parts can be duplicated in quantity at extremely low cost.  Production up scaling can effectively be obtained by replicating molds and plugs and increasing fabricators.  Due to the weight aspect of fiberglass, shipping costs are lower as well.

Durability and Strengths

Fiberglass is an attractive, lightweight and durable material and has one of the highest strength to weight ratio available. Fiberglass is dielectric, meaning it is non-conductive and RF transparent. Thus making it an ideal material for applications where metal housings can adversely affect electronic performance of a product. If electrically conductive metal housings are used this can possibly present a safety hazard to your employees or components.

Fiberglass has Superior Acoustic qualities, better than most metals and plastics. Under similar conditions fiberglass and composites tend to vibrate less and remain quieter than sheet metals. This can reduce the overall operating volume of your machinery and even help you achieve acceptable or required sound levels for your equipment. For even more sound deadening capability, fiberglass and composites can layered with matte material in order to achieve the desired level of acoustic deadening

Fiberglass is a very structurally stable material.  It offers the least amount of contraction and expansion with heat and stress compared to plastic, wood or metal.  This means products made of FRP will maintain their shape better when subjected to severe environmental and mechanical stresses.

FRP does not rust and is extremely resistant to corrosion.  In fact, FRP is one of the best and offers the greatest longevity in highly corrosive environments.

With the use of specialty resins, you can achieve fire retardant, low smoke, corrosion resistant properties.
