GRP price3-

GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) can vary depending on factors such as manufacturer, specific product type, size, quantity and market conditions. In general, GFRP materials may be more expensive initially than traditional materials, but they offer long-term cost savings due to their durability, low maintenance requirements, and corrosion resistance. It is recommended to obtain quotes from suppliers or manufacturers for accurate pricing information based on your project needs

4-Advantages and applications of GFRP-

Light weight5-

Composites are lighter than most wood and metals, their lightness is important in the automobile and aircraft industry, where less weight means less fuel and optimal fuel. Airplane designers are usually concerned about weight, because reducing the weight of an airplane reduces the fuel required for it and increases the speed to its maximum capacity. Composites are used more than metals in the construction of some of today’s airplanes, such as the Boeing 787 and Dreamliner.

Strength to weight ratio6-

The ratio of strength to weight is the strength of the material in proportion to the weight of that part. Some materials such as steel are very heavy and strong. Some materials such as bamboo columns can be strong and light. Composites can be designed to be both light and strong. This is why composites are very widely used in the aircraft industry, because this industry requires materials with high strength and light weight.

 A composite part can be designed in such a way that it has a very high resistance against the bending force applied from one direction, if the same part is to show resistance against the same constant force, it must be made thicker and therefore heavier. Will have. Composites can be strong and strong without having to be made heavy. Today, composite structures have the highest strength-to-weight ratio

High strength7-

Polymer based composites can be designed stronger than aluminum and steel. Unlike metals, which show the same strength in all directions, composites can be designed and engineered to show more strength in a specific and desired direction.

Corrosion resistant8-

Composites can withstand damage caused by atmospheric conditions and highly corrosive chemicals. Composites are a good choice for places where chemicals are used or stored. These parts can withstand harsh weather conditions in the open air. And extreme temperature changes are also resistant

9- High strength against impact

Polymer-based composites can absorb impact. Because of this feature, composites are used in making vests and bulletproof panels and protective walls against explosions and to protect airplanes, buildings, and military vehicles.

For example, they control the sudden force caused by a bullet impact or a mine explosion

10- High diversity in design

The use of polymer composites in the construction and molding of complex parts is very easy compared to other materials, for this reason it gives designers more freedom to design and manufacture almost any shape and any size.

 For example, most recreational boats are made of fiberglass and composites, because these materials can be easily used in making complex structures, which improves the design and at the same time reduces the price of the product. The surface of composites can also be made similar to any surface or texture from polished to rough

11- High diversity in design

 The use of polymer composites in the construction and molding of complex parts is very easy compared to other materials, for this reason it gives designers more freedom to design and build almost any shape and any size, for example, most leisure boats made of fibers. Glass and composites are made, because these materials can be easily used in making complex structures, which improves the design and at the same time reduces the price of the product. The surface of composites can also be similar to any surface or texture of polished until they are made rough and rough

12- Integration of parts

 A piece made of composite materials can replace several assembled pieces of metal parts, the number of parts in a car with one structure saves time and reduces the number of repairs and maintenance during the life cycle of that car or that structure

13- Dimensional stability

Parts made of polymer composites change their shape and size when they are heated or cold; We keep it wet or dry, and keep it stable if the wood swells or changes volume when it comes in contact with water and changes in humidity.

 Also, the selection of composites is the best option for situations where it is necessary for the part to remain completely fixed in place and dimensional changes do not occur in it, for example, they are used in the construction of the wings of some airplanes, where it is necessary to change the shape and size of the wings in time. Do not change the height of the aircraft. Among other functions of composites, we can mention making solid molds for pouring concrete

14- Non-magnetic

Composites do not contain any metal, so they do not have magnetic properties and can be used around sensitive electronic equipment. Due to the absence of magnetic interference, composites allow the use of large magnets in MRl (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) equipment for better performance. Composites are used in both housing and household appliances.

Also, for about twenty years, composite rebars have been used in construction, airport runways, wharves, and port structures for placing metal rebars to reinforce concrete and composite profiles for structures

15- To be durable

Structures made of composites have a longer life span and require less maintenance and repair. We do not know the exact life span of composites because we have not yet reached the end of life for many of them. Many composite parts are more than half. They have been in service condition for a century

16- Low thermal conductivity

 Composites are good heat insulators and do not transmit heat and cold easily. They are used in buildings to make doors and windows and body and roof panels, in places where additional protection is needed for harsh weather conditions

17- The advantages of using GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) are:

Light weight: GFRP is lighter than steel, making it easier to transport.

Corrosion resistance: GFRP does not rust or corrode and is ideal for use in corrosive environments.

High strength-to-weight ratio: GFRP is strong and stiff while being light.

Design flexibility: GFRP can be molded into various shapes and sizes, providing design versatility.

Fire resistant: self-extinguishing

Durability: GFRP is resistant to environmental factors such as UV exposure and chemicals.

Insulation properties: GFRP has good thermal and electrical insulation properties.

Low maintenance: GFRP requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional materials such as steel.

Sustainability: GFRP is recyclable and can contribute to sustainable construction practices
