Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a composite material made of strong fibers—such as carbon, glass, or aramid—embedded within a plastic matrix. This combination results in a lightweight, durable, and high-strength material used in construction, aerospace, and automotive industries. FRPs are flexible in design, resistant to corrosion, and can be tailored for specific applications, making them an efficient alternative to traditional materials like steel or concrete. They are especially valued for their ability to reinforce or repair structures, extending their lifespan while reducing weight and maintaining structural integrity.
