The different
fiberglass profiles, as well as the components or structures that can be manufactured from them, are characterized by their light weight, being between 3 and 4 times lighter than steel while offering similar strength.
They have better insulating properties than wood, both in terms of thermal performance and dielectric properties.
They are materials that are transparent to magnetic or radio waves, making them suitable for radomes or antenna structures.
They can be manufactured in multiple colors and, by varying their composition, self-extinguishing profiles with fire reaction properties rated M1F2 can be obtained.
Fiberglass does not absorb heat, is corrosion-resistant, unaffected by seawater, and requires no maintenance; therefore, it is a cost-effective material.
Walkways, railings, and stairways can be manufactured for chemical and pharmaceutical industry facilities, water treatment plants, and marine installations.
In the electrical industry, it is used as separators for open transformers and for low-voltage motors.
Structures can be made for greenhouses, road signage posts, fencing for livestock grazing areas, snow markers to indicate level, oars, fishing rods, bows, arrows, kite frames, battens for windsurfing sails, skirting boards, corner protectors, windows, doors... and countless other applications.
