With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous growth of demand, FRP has emerged as a new type of material, and has attracted much attention because of its excellent performance and wide application. Let’s take a look at the introduction of FRP products and their application in the industrial field.
1.FRP product introduction FRP products, also known as glass fiber reinforced plastics, are man-made materials that use alkali-free glass fibers as reinforcement materials, unsaturated polyester resin as the base material, and are molded or hand-layered. Among them, the alkali-free glass fiber has excellent physical and chemical properties, which can enhance the tensile strength and wear resistance of the material, and the unsaturated polyester resin can make the material have good corrosion resistance and aging resistance, and is easy to process and manufacturing.
2.Application of FRP in the industrial field FRP has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, anti-corrosion performance, free molding, high strength, etc., so it is widely used in the industrial field, as follows:
(1)Chemical industry In the chemical industry
FRP is often used to manufacture FRP tanks, FRP reactors, FRP cooling towers, FRP spray towers, FRP deodorization towers, FRP absorption towers ,FRP pipelines, FRP pumping stations and other equipment. Because FRP has good corrosion resistance, it can withstand the corrosion of acid, alkali, salt and other media, and it will not suffer from corrosion, rust and other problems like metal materials, so it has been widely used in the chemical industry.
(2)Power industry
In the power industry, FRP products are generally used in the manufacture of water delivery pipes to withstand the weight and internal pressure of water. Compared with traditional metal pipes, FRP pipes have the advantages of no maintenance, good aging resistance, strong corrosion resistance, etc., and can also reduce operating costs and improve efficiency.
(3)Water treatment industry
In the water treatment industry, FRP is often used to manufacture filters, water tanks, water pipes and other equipment. FRP has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, and is an excellent material for manufacturing water treatment equipment.
In short, as a new type of material, FRP is used more and more widely, especially in the industrial field. Its excellent performance provides better material choices for various industries. In the future, with the continuous updating of technology and changes in demand, the application of FRP will be further expanded and developed.
