The question is here.

• Corrosion or contact-corrosion are naturally unknown to FRP.
• Chemical resistance and resistance to environmental factors meet highest standards and cannot be achieved by other materials.
• Our products are 100% resistant to uv-light. Apart from this they do not loose either shape nor colour.
• Our FRP-products provide high strength: By now we are even able to build bridges for pedestrians and for vehicular use completely made from FRP.
• The weight of our profiles is extremely low and even less than aluminium.
• Our products can be installed quickly and cost effectively. They are 100% maintenance-free.
• Our FRP-profiles offer you the best long-life durability available on the market.
• Apart from this our products are
  • Fire resistant up to F90 (phenolic resin)
  • isolating and insulating
  • impact resistant
  • resistant to cold and hot temperatures (-100 degrees to +180 degrees celsius)
  • available in any colour
  • antislip due to antiskid surfaces (gratings / acc. to german standard BG GUV R13)
    And much more……….

How durable is frp?

Frp products are extremely durable versus many traditional products. The thermosetting resin properties provide chemical, moisture, and temperature resistance, while the fiberglass reinforcement increases strength and provides good performance over a wide temperature range (the properties of thermoplastics are greatly affected by temperature).

How cleanable is frp?

Frp finishes can be either smooth or embossed. Testing has shown that either finish performs (cleans) as well as a #3 finish on stainless steel. Tests for bacteria and mold growth indicate that frp does not support the growth of either.

An embossed finish has the added benefit of providing a more scuff resistant surface than smooth.

Does frp burn?

Frp can be modified with additives to meet the code requirements of the particular application, either building construction or use in OEM equipment. One common testing method for building materials is:

Fire safety requires proper design of facilities and fire suppression systems, as well as precautions during construction and occupancy. Local codes, insurance companies and any special needs of the product user will determine the correct fire-rated interior finish and fire suppression system necessary for a specific installation.

Comparison Chart
SHEET METAL BOXES		FRP BOXES
1.	One cannot go up to a particular thickness.	Product thickness has no bar.
2.	Specific gravity of M.S. is almost five times to that of FRP.	Specific Gravity of FRP being lower, weight of the same size product is much lower, hence nullifies the lower cost of sheet metal. Transportation is easier.
3.	Post operation i.e. drilling, tapping, welding, painting may be required.	Post operation is not required.
4.	Needs periodical maintenance i.e. antirust treatment, repainting, welding, partial replacement etc.	Virtually does not require any maintenance, once installed.
5.	Operational life is limited.	Unlimited operational  life.
6.	Dimensional stability cannot be guaranteed due to hand operations.	Dimensional stability is ensured.
7.	Affected due to weathering.	Absolutely no weathering affect i.e. affected due to ultraviolet rays and any seasonal change.
8.	Does not protect against any electrical leakage, short circuits etc.	Excellent electrical insulating properties, bad conductor of electricity and self-extinguishing property a plus.
9.	Mechanical properties do detoriate after some time of usage due to rusting etc.	Mechanical properties remain constant for a much longer time.
10.	Reacts to mild acids, alkalis etc.	Immune to mild acids, alkalis etc. Better chemical resistance can be achieved.
11.	Carries resale value, hence danger of theft, deliberate damage etc.	Resale value is ‘NIL’ as opposed to M.S. hence prevents theft and proved to be ideal for installation at public places.
