Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)

Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP), also known as fiberglass, is a sturdy composite material made by embedding thin glass fibers into a plastic (usually resin). This combination creates a lightweight yet strong and durable material resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and weathering. GFRP is commonly used in construction, automotive parts, pipes, and sporting equipment because it offers high strength-to-weight ratio and versatility. The glass fibers provide tensile strength, while the plastic matrix binds everything together, resulting in a material that performs well in demanding environments.
