Pros and cons of fiberglass compared to steel
The superiority of our fiberglass is the result of the high quality raw materials used, the composite design and the pultrusion process. The main benefits are below:
• IMPACT RESISTANCE
High ultimate strength prevents impact damage
• CORROSION RESISTANCE
Resists most acids, caustics and salts
• SAFETY
Low in electrical and thermal conductivity, non-skid surface
In addition, our fiberglass is:
• LIGHTWEIGHT — 1/3 the weight of steel
• VERSATILE
• EASILY FIELD FABRICATED
• FIRE RETARDANT — Meets requirements of Class 1 rating of 25 or less per ASTM E-84 and the self-extinguishing requirement of ASTM D-635 PLUS it contains UV INHIBITORS and can be custom manufactured in special COLORS.
