High Performance Polymer FRP Solutions. Holding It together: Mechanical Information

Today we are going to take a closer look at the mechanical properties of Vinyl Ester FRP threaded rod and Isoplast LGF40-TPU.

Fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) is one of the strongest, most durable building materials available in the marketplace today. There are a variety of names that these materials are commonly known by including Complēt® LGF40-TPU, Celstran® LFRT, Superstud!™, Fiberfast™, Durostone®, Derakane®, Fiberglass.

We incorporate the highest quality material to provide non-conductive components that offer superior chemical resistance, higher strength and ultraviolet protection.

We are a leading supplier to a variety of industries including RF Transparent products designers that integrate wireless infrastructure into the look and character of the end user’s environment. Our components are used to manufacture a variety of unique cabinet enclosures in a full array of Architecturally Concealed sites including cacti, boulders, and trees. Due to the physical properties present in both LGF40-TPU material and the Vinyl Ester it finds success in a variety of applications including the following:

  • Aquaculture Pens
  • Flue gas desulphurization plant
  • Onshore / offshore engineering
  • Chemical plants
  • Hydraulic engineering, sewage treatment plants, desalination of seawater
  • Transformers, dry-type and oil immersed
  • Generators
  • Switchgears
  • Instrument construction, High-frequency Systems
  • Traffic engineering
  • Refrigeration and air conditioning
  • Cable trays
  • Electrostatic powder coating
  • Electroplating plants
  • RF Transparent Site Concealment
  • Wireless Networking Technology

FRP Vinyl Ester Threaded Studs are high strength pultruded glass reinforced material coupled with a UV Stabilized Derakane® Vinyl Ester resin. After the rods are pultruded to maximum strength, the material is ground to standard Unified National Coarse (UNC) threads. Vinyl Ester studs and LGF40-TPU nuts are ideal for applications requiring mechanical fasteners that must be non-corrosive, lowin conductivity and/or transparent to electromagnetic waves.

We offer a variety of injection molded fasteners in the 101 LGF40 TPU material and Threaded rod utilizing a Derakane® Vinyl Ester resin. With a variety of solutions available off the shelf please see a bit more information about the mechanical strength of our materials below:
