FRP Cable Tray and Cable Ladder Characteristics

FRP Cable Tray and Cable Ladder Characteristics

1. Because the fiberglass pultruded cable tray and cable ladder can meet the requirements of different use of the environment and the special performance,as long as the selection of suitable raw materials, they can meet various application performance requirements for the use of the product. Therefore, the FRPcable tray is a kind of design of a variety of materials.

2. Fiberglass pultruded cable tray is one-time molding production, which is another significant difference from metal materials. As long as selecting the appropriate raw materials laying methods and procedures per the design of the product, you can complete the glass fiber reinforced plastic materials and structures.

3. Fiberglass cable tray is a kind of energy-saving material. If production with hand lay-up technology, the temperature of the molding is generally at room temperature or below 100℃, so it is very low energy consumption. Even for those who adopt mechanical forming process, such as winding, molding, injection, injection, RTM, pultrusion method, molding temperature is much lower than metal materials and other non-metallic materials, so it can reduce much of the energy consumption for molding.

Fiberflass composite materials application

In recent years, as to further improve the performance of chemical products and the continuous improvement of the manufacture craft, non-metallic materials is finding wider and wider application in car body, plastic, rubber and other new materials, are increasingly into the family car.

In terms of the use of car parts, is widely used on the car body nonmetallic material has glass steel pieces, people familiar with the "Chinese bullet" of the shell is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, the Chevrolet bullet body shell also USES the glass fiber reinforced plastic material.

Starting in the 80 s extensive use of glass fiber reinforced plastic material body, such as  Fiar cars outside of glass fiber reinforced plastic sheet molding compound wing plate, back cover, and QianHouMen and polycarbonate and modified polyphenyl ether manufacturing front and rear bumpers, inside body parts such as wing.

Britain's four cars, and even adopted the glass fiber reinforced plastic body (unsaturated polyester glass fiber reinforced plastic).

Body local toughened glass has a popularization in our country, such as bumper, hood and large camber shape complex body parts, etc.

With the development and utilization of raw materials, glass fiber reinforced plastic materials in the application of cars is increasing.

Carbon Fiber Sheet

Carbon fiber sheet, including carbon fiber cloth and carbon fiber board, mainly used in building reinforcement, from twentieth Century 60's to the present, it has been widely used. It has a high specific strength, high specific modulus, resistance to hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius temperature, acid and alkali, and other chemical substances are also very good corrosion resistance.
Different from pultruded sheet, carbon fiber cloth manufacturing method is not complicated, the carbon fiber is woven into cloth. Carbon fiber board manufacturing method is according to the required size and thickness, the carbon fiber cloth to stack up the pre impregnated resin, and then the high temperature pressed into plate. That is, when the critical pre coating reinforcement, effect. Carbon fiber materials woven carbon fiber cloth, the carbon fiber wire is difficult to fully work together, when subjected to load, the part should be at higher force levels of carbon fibers first reached the tensile strength and from the working state, and the use of pre coating, the concrete surface in all the directions of the strain transfer to carbon fiber cloth, the carbon fiber can work very well and greatly improve the tensile strength of the carbon fiber cloth.
The construction method of carbon fiber sheet is more simple than the use of other materials. First, the need to strengthen the site clean, coated with resin, and then put on a carbon fiber sheet. Large machinery, a lot of manpower and material resources are not needed, construction cycle is short,and  the effect is significant.

Automobile lightweight fiber reinforced composite materials are key.

Automobile lightweight fiber reinforced composite materials are key.

Automobile lightweight, is to ensure the strength of the car and under the premise of safety performance, reduce the curb weight of the car, as much as possible so as to improve the power performance of vehicle, reduce fuel consumption, reduce exhaust pollution.Auto industry, as it were, it is not easy to implement stringent emission regulations, there is a clear need for a more lightweight solution, with the progress of technology, the realization of lightweight are implemented step by step, which are also a good chance of plastic industry.And fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is made by enhanced fiber material, such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, etc., and after winding substrate material, moulding and pultrusion molding process and the formation of the composite material, has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, overloading, the realization of auto lightweight plays an enormous role.

Fiberglass Boats Maintenance-----Part 1

Fiberglass Boats Maintenance-----Part 1

Fiberglass boats currently has basically occupied the small boat market, and it is very popular in companies and passengers with advantages of light weight, high strength, beautiful shape and a variety of colors.

However, for a long time, fiberglass boat maintenance has not been paid to much attention. Most manufactures don't introduce maintenance tips in the product manual and user instructions. Many users lack of fiberglass material, performance and other characteristics, so many people believe that fiberglass boats don't need any maintenance because they are high strength, never rust and have gel-coat layer of protection. That caused a lot of fiberglass boats service life is shorten due to lack of maintenance.

Glass fiber reinforced plastic is made of synthetic resin as matrix and glass fiber as reinforced material. It has similar strength with steel material, and it has superior performance of water resistance, corrosion resistance, smooth surface finish and beautiful appearance and integral forming. But it also has some shortcomings, such as small stiffness, poor resistance to abrasion. In particular, there are many factors affecting product quality (such as the quality of raw materials, technical quality, production conditions and environmental factors, etc.), which makes the difference in the quality of similar products.

Compared with steel and wooden boat, FRP boat has the characteristics of less maintenance, which is decided by the superior performance of the glass fiber reinforced plastic. However, glass fiber reinforced plastic likes all materials, there is also a problem of aging, but the process is slower. Even in the boat surface applied the gel coat resin form a protective layer, due to the thickness of only 0.3-0.5mm, in often friction and erosion environment will damage and the thinning. So fiberglass products need less maintenance rather than no maintenance, proper maintenance can not only maintain the beautiful appearance, but also to extend the life of fiberglass boats.
