Fiberglass profiles are composite materials made of glass fibers reinforced with different resin matrices, such as polyester, vinylester, epoxy, methacrylic and polyurethane. They have many advantages over other materials, such as low weight, high strength, good electrical and thermal insulation, flame retardance, chemical and corrosion resistance, and good surface for paint or dye. Fiberglass profiles can be manufactured by different methods, such as pultrusion, filament winding, or centrifugal casting, to achieve various shapes and properties according to the specific requirements of the applications.

Applications of Fiberglass Profiles in Chemical Industries

Fiberglass profiles are widely used in chemical and industrial piping systems, such as potable water, firewater mains, saltwater cooling, saltwater disposal, heating and cooling water systems, wastewater systems, chemical feed, waste and vent applications, and process lines. They can withstand high temperatures, pressures, abrasion, and corrosive environments. They also offer a long service life and low maintenance costs.

Fiberglass profiles are also used in other chemical and industrial applications, such as structural supports, cable trays, ladders, platforms, gratings, handrails, fencing, electrical insulation, and instrumentation housings. They can provide a high degree of construction flexibility and customization.

Common Styles of Fiberglass Profiles

There are many styles of fiberglass profiles available in the market, depending on the shape, size, reinforcement type, and resin matrix. Some of the common styles are:
