F.R.P
What is FRP?
FRP is a compound of Fiber Glass and resin.

FRP Compositions
1) Resin: Unsaturated Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Vinly Ester Resin, Phenolic Resin
2) Fiber Glass
3) Hardener
4) Filler

Advantages
¨ç Light and high strength Specific gravity is 25% of iron, 60% aluminum
¨è non-corrosive

Does not rust or rot.
Stronger than other plastics in water, grease and chemicals.

¨é Fine Casting

Particular facility is not necessary and coloring is possible.

¨ê Excellent heat transfer

Fine electric wave permeability.
High in strength (used for aircraft and vessel surfaces and radar domes.

¨ë Heat Resistant

Heat insulation effect (refrigerator, container (fish))
specific heat: 2-3 times to metal.
Thermal conduction rate: 2-3 times less to metal.

¨ì Permeability is possible

Light is scattered. When applied to a greenhouse provides light in all directions helping plant growth.


Disadvantages
¨ç Low modulus Lower rigidity compared to iron-aluminum-metal.
¨è Low heat resistance

Tested in high temperature for hours, general FRP: about 100¡É, heat resistance resin: about 160¡É

¨é Combustible

This resin is a combination of carbon, so to increase autolysis a non-combustible resin is added.
