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®, and 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, low in conductivity, and/or transparent to electromagnetic waves.
We offer a variety of injection-molded fasteners in the 101 LGF40 TPU material and threaded rods 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:
