Description
We stock our GRP Box Profiles in 6000mm lengths, but we can cut them down to the size you need – for more details please contact us. The profiles comply with BS EN 13706 E23/E17 standards.
Each profile has many benefits to it:
- Exceptional strength: pultruded profiles are stronger than steel, and the high impact strength of GRP reduces any damage that may be caused by accidental collisions
- Lightweight: GRP box profiles weigh 80% less than its steel counterparts and 30% less than aluminium. Even though there is less weight, the profiles provide a performance at an equivalent level
- Corrosion resistant: although GRP is usually unaffected by exposure to chemicals and environments, they still have an added synthetic surface veil, which provides the profile with a resin layer which ultimately enhances the already excellent corrosion resistant properties
- Maintenance free: the added corrosion resistant properties of FRP profiles remove the need for regular painting or surface treatment
- Low thermal conductivity: all GRP box profiles have low thermal conductivity. They are around 1/250 of aluminium and 1/60 of steel
- Non-conductive: GRP Profiles are electrically non-conductive. This makes their specification ideal for cable trays, ladders, cover boards, etc
- Electromagnetic transparency: GRP is transparent to a range of electromagnetic frequencies which makes it ideal for aerial masts and radar applications
- Dimensional stability: GRP is resistant to all kinds of stretching, warping or swelling over a variety of temperatures and physical stresses
- Thermal stability: these profiles are able to withstand exposure to temperatures of up to 65 degrees Celsius
We have a variety of other profiles available. These include I-Beam, H-Beam, Tube, C-Section and Angle.
