The Corrosion Resistance Of GRP

Polymer Concrete is a composite of polyester resin and fillers such as silica sand and stone aggregate. They do not use cement or water and rely only on the resin to act as the bonding agent. When combined together in a special computer-controlled mixer, polymer concrete gives considerable higher strengths when compared to conventional concrete. |
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) has been accepted and used as a pipe material for over thirty years. Its use being well documented. The corrosion resistance of GRP is second to none. It has the ability to work at high or low temperatures in very corrosive environments. GRP pipes manufactured by the filament winding process using precise controlled helix angles have proved to give a pipe with optimum mechanical properties in both longitudinal and circumferential directions. |
