Why GRP/PAFS?

The material GRP (glass reinforced polyester)is a composite material containing a matrix of thermally cured resins to which glass fibers and, in certain applications, quartz sand are added. Depending on the application and the manufacturing process, the glass fibers can be randomly arranged, flattened into a mat or woven.

GRP is more flexible than carbon fiber, having a higher breaking point and therefore a higher strength-to-weight ratio. The production costs of this type of material are relatively low, the production process is environmentally friendly and the life span is between 50 – 100 years, making it a sustainable product with a growing market share.

Thus GRP is used in multiple fields such as: automotive and aeronautical industry (structural elements, flooring, etc.), chemical industry (pipes), energy industry (wind turbines, etc.), sports products (surfboards, helmets, tennis rackets, etc.), electrical and electronic products, construction (as insulation material, domes, roofing, etc.).
