VIC ADVANCED MATERIALS

Fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP), are a composite material consisting of fiberglass reinforcements in a plastic (polymer) matrix. The variations of both reinforcements and polymers allow an incredible range of physical and mechanical properties which can be developed specifically for the performance required.

Advantages of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics (FRP)

Fiberglass reinforced plastic composites are strong, lightweight, corrosion resistant, thermally and electrically nonconductive, RF transparent, and virtually maintenance free. There are unique properties of FRP, that make them suitable and desirable for a wide range of product applications.

FRP Advantages include:

• Strength & Durability
• Versatility and Freedom Of Design
• Affordability and Cost Effectiveness
• Unique Physical Properties

Fiberglass is an attractive, lightweight, and durable material with one of the highest strength to weight ratios available for component fabrication. It is also highly resistant to environmental extremes. Fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) do not rust, are highly resistant to corrosives, and are able to withstand temperature extremes as low as -80° F or as high as 200°F.
