FRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) pultruded profiles have broad application prospects and the industry development trend is improving

FRP is fiberglass reinforced plastic, and its scientific name is fiber-reinforced composite material. It refers to a reinforced plastic that uses synthetic resin as the matrix and glass fiber as the reinforcing material, and is prepared through physical and chemical processes. It is used in petroleum, electric power, construction, chemical industry and other fields. More extensive. At present, there are five main categories of fiberglass molding processes, namely hand lay-up molding, fiber winding molding, pultrusion, molding, and injection molding. Among them, fiberglass reinforced plastic profiles produced by pultrusion are called FRP pultruded profiles or fiber reinforced composite pultruded profiles.

Compared with other molding methods, the FRP pultrusion molding method has the advantages of higher energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and less by-product production. It is currently one of the mainstream methods for industrial preparation of FRP. At the same time, FRP pultruded profiles prepared through the pultrusion process have the advantages of light weight, high strength-to-weight ratio, good durability, strong corrosion resistance, and low maintenance costs. They are widely used in new energy, rail transit, environmental protection, petrochemicals, electric power, and construction. It has broad application prospects in , papermaking, steel and other fields.

Specifically, electricity is the earliest application field for the development of FRP pultruded profiles. In this field, FRP pultruded profiles are mainly used in product manufacturing scenarios such as cable trays, insulating ladders, motor slot wedges, and transformer isolation rods; chemical industry is its important application. In one of the fields, FRP pultruded profiles are mainly used in product manufacturing scenarios such as walking gratings, structural brackets, FRP sucker rods, cooling tower brackets; construction is its main application field, and FRP pultruded profiles are mainly used in bay windows, FRP composite Product preparation scenarios such as partitions and FRP assembled gutters.

Currently, driven by the rapid development of the application field of FRP pultruded profiles, its market demand continues to increase and its output continues to increase. According to the “Research Report on Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects of China’s FRP (Glass Reinforced Plastics) Pultruded Profile Industry from 2023 to 2027” released by the Industrial Research Center shows that my country’s FRP pultruded profile production has exceeded 1.9 million tons in 2022, accounting for about 60% of the global total production. At present, my country has become a major producer and exporter of FRP pultruded profiles in the world, and the industry development trend is good.

Domestic companies such as Jiayuan FRP, Lida Composite Materials, Donghai Composite Materials, Hengxin Composite Materials, Zhongsheng Composite Materials, Meichen Composite Materials, Hengyi FRP Products, Yunlai Composite Materials, etc. have entered the FRP pultruded profile market. . There are a large number of FRP pultruded profile companies in my country, the market competition is fierce, and the industry concentration is low.

Industrial analysts personnel said that in recent years, FRP pultruded profiles have been widely used in chemical industry, construction and other fields due to their good properties. application, the development trend of the industry is improving. At the same time, there are currently many domestic companies in the FRP pultruded profile market, and my country has become the world’s major producer and exporter of FRP pultruded profiles. In the future, as local enterprises continue to release their production capacity and upgrade their technology, the competitiveness of my country’s FRP pultruded profile enterprises will continue to strengthen, and local enterprises are expected to occupy a dominant position in the global market competition.
