FRP/GRP Technology & Quality Standards
Understanding the materials and engineering behind our fiberglass solutions.
What is FRP/GRP?
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), also known as Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with glass fibers.
The combination creates a material that is lightweight yet incredibly strong, resistant to corrosion, and capable of being molded into complex shapes. These properties make FRP ideal for demanding industrial applications.
At Pioneers Fiberglass, we’ve been perfecting our FRP manufacturing processes for over 45 years, ensuring every product meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Advantages
Advantages Why Choose FRP/GRP?
Key benefits that make fiberglass the smart choice for industrial applications.
Corrosion Resistant
FRP/GRP materials are naturally resistant to corrosion from water, chemicals, and environmental exposure. Unlike steel, they never rust.
Chemical Resistance
Suitable for storing a wide range of chemicals. Vinyl ester resin options available for highly aggressive chemical environments.
Thermal Insulation
Excellent thermal properties maintain stored liquid temperatures and reduce condensation. Insulated tanks available for critical applications.
High Strength-to-Weight
FRP is approximately 60% lighter than steel while maintaining comparable strength. Reduces transportation and installation costs.
Low Maintenance
No painting, rust treatment, or cathodic protection required. Minimal upkeep means lower total cost of ownership over decades.
Customizable Design
Can be molded into virtually any shape and size. Custom fittings, openings, and configurations available to meet exact specifications.
Materials We Use
