Fiberglass is among the strongest commercial materials available. Pound per pound, fiberglass is stronger than concrete, steel or aluminum.

Fiberglass reinforced plastics are composites that combine a structural fiberglass reinforcement with a plastic matrix.

There are many types of plastic resins and fiberglass reinforcements that can be combined to obtain a vast range of physical properties and chemical resistances. FRP composites are developed specifically for the performance required.

Proper design and construction of fiberglass products can be simple or complex. For critical applications involving trade-offs of strength versus weight, and chemical or heat resistance, engineering training and specific fiberglass production knowledge are essential.
