FRP, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, is a composite made from fiberglass reinforcement in a plastic (polymer) matrix. A construction analogy would be the steel reinforcing bars in a concrete matrix for highways.
By reinforcing the plastic matrix, a wide variety of physical strengths and properties can be designed into the FRP composite. Additionally, the type and configuration of the reinforcement can be selected, along with the type of plastic and additives within the matrix. These variations allow an incredible range of strength and physical properties to be obtained. FRP composites can be developed specifically for the performance required versus traditional materials: wood, metal, ceramics, etc.
Engineers can design the FRP composite to provide the needed characteristics, and avoid cost penalties of an over-engineered product.

Fiberglass fibers are made from molten glass extruded at a specified diameter. The fibers are gathered into bundles and the bundles combined create a roving. Roving is a continuous rope, similar to twine, and are wound on a mandrel to form a ball called a Doff. Reinforcements for FRP are made from roving that are either chopped into short strands or woven into a cloth.
There are many factors that affect the reinforcement characteristics of fiberglass:
SAUDI COMPOSITE fiberglass structural shapes are:EMI/RFI Transparent
Lightweight
There are many factors that affect the reinforcement characteristics of fiberglass:
- Fiber and bundle diameter and type of glass
- Direction of the fiberglass reinforcement
- The amount of fiberglass reinforcement
- The physical contact (wet-out) of the fiber with the polymer
SAUDI COMPOSITE fiberglass structural shapes are:
- Corrosion Resistant
- High Strength
- Low Maintenance
- Low Conductivity
