THE BENEFITS OF GRP
Fibre-glass reinforced polyester is a composite which is extremely resistant to corrosion, and which is currently unrivalled in the construction of enclosures, cabinets and shelters for the electrical industry in general.
Of Fibre-Glass Reinforced Polyester Compared To Galvanised Or Painted Steel:
- Unrivalled resistance in saline, chlorine, sulphur, urban or chemically aggressive environments.
- Superior resistance irrespective of the quality of the coating of the steel – no oxidisation or rust.
- With an equal mechanical resistance rating (IK10), polyester is half as heavy as steel.
- Polyester is an electrically insulating material (class II).
- Rate of thermal insulation is distinctly superior (less risk of condensation).
- No specific protection needs on site (bitumen coating…).
Of Fibre-Glass Reinforced Polyester Compared To Aluminium:
- Distinctly superior resistance in saline, urban environments etc.
- Additional anti-corrosion coating not required.
- No electrolytic corrosion caused by contact between 2 metals in a damp environment.
- Identical mechanical resistance (IK10), polyester is lighter than aluminum.
- Polyester is an electrically insulating material (class II).
Of Fibre-Glass Reinforced Polyester Compared To Stainless Steel:
- No corrosion even in chlorine and saline environments.
- No corrosion caused by electrical effects.
- With an equal mechanical resistance rating (IK10), polyester is half as heavy as stainless steel.
- Polyester is an electrically insulating material (class II).
The lifespan of your chosen system and the protection of your equipment depend first and foremost on their outer casing.
