FRP is a composite material that has developed rapidly in the past 50 years. 70% of the glass fiber production is used to make FRP. FRP has a high hardness and is much lighter than steel. It is used as a fuel tank and pipe on jet aircraft to reduce the weight of the aircraft. The astronauts who boarded the moon, the miniature oxygen cylinders they carried on their bodies, were also made of fiberglass. FRP is easy to process, stainless steel is not bad, no need for paint. China has widely used FRP to manufacture a variety of small motorboats, lifeboats, yachts, and automobile manufacturing industries, saving a lot of steel.
It can be made of FRP tile, also known as transparent tile. It is a lighting material used in conjunction with steel structure. It is mainly composed of high-performance film, reinforced polyester and glass fiber. The film should be very resistant to UV and anti-static. The role of UV protection is to protect the polyester of FRP lighting panels from yellowing and premature light loss. Antistatic is to ensure that the dust on the surface is easily washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind to maintain a clean and beautiful surface. Due to its stable quality and durability, it is well received by customers and can be widely used in industrial/commercial/civil construction roofs and walls.
The film industry is used to make props, which is convenient and fast, and cost-effective. Can imitate a lot of material effects. Welcomed by people. The chemical plant also uses phenolic resin FRP instead of stainless steel to make various corrosion-resistant equipment, which greatly extends the life of the equipment. FRP is non-magnetic and does not block the passage of electromagnetic waves. Using it to make a missile radome is like wearing a pair of protective glasses for the missile, which does not block the radar's "line of sight" and protects it. The radomes of many missile and ground-based radar stations are made of FRP. In the 21st century, according to the good wave-transparency of FRP, the performance of this aspect, with the widespread popularity of cell phone communication, FRP is widely used in the manufacture of 2G and 3G antenna covers, FRP with its good formability, appearance can be Beautification, played a good role in the landscaping of the community, this product has square column cover, simulation stone, field application of landscaping and other FRP also made a great contribution to the improvement of sports water. Since the sport of pole vaulting, the highest record ever created by athletes using wooden poles is 3.05 meters. Later, bamboo poles were used. By 1942, the record was raised to 4.77 meters. The advantage of bamboo raft is that it is light and flexible. The shortcoming is that the lower end is thick and the upper end is thin. It is very difficult to improve the record. Therefore, people use aluminum alloy enamel instead of bamboo raft. Although it is light and firm, it is not flexible enough. Thus, from 1942 to 1957, in fifteen years, the highest record of pole vault was only increased by 1 cm. However, since the emergence of the new FRP poles, due to its light and flexible, the record has risen rapidly, and today's pole vault record has exceeded the 6-meter mark. Today, FRP is also widely used in people's lives. People call it "FRP" affectionately. Because of its special varieties, it still retains many of the advantages of glass, such as transparency, so people use it as a window glass. It can block the ultraviolet rays in the sun and make the living room brighter. It is also used to make a variety of durable everyday items. Such as baths, kitchen utensils, toiletries and so on.
