Glass-reinforced plastic, also known as GRP, is a strong material made of plastic and glass fiber.

The applications of GRP are diverse and can be used in industry as well as in the private sector.

Our products from Fibrolux are durable and lightweight, making them ideal for a variety of applications. They offer a range of advantages, including corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, high temperature resistance, and many other benefits.

Fibrolux's GRP products offer high strength with significantly lower weight compared to steel or aluminum. In addition, GRP, unlike metals, is not susceptible to corrosion and is resistant to various chemical substances. Furthermore, our GRP products retain their mechanical properties over a long period, even under extreme environmental conditions such as UV radiation, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.

For sawing smaller quantities, a conventional metal saw is sufficient. For higher volumes, however, the use of a diamond-tipped saw blade is recommended. The diameter of the saw blades should be between 200 – 500 mm, depending on the wall thickness. For dry machining, an extraction system is recommended. Cutting speed 1800 to 3600 m/min.

For turning smaller quantities, a standard setup, as used in conventional metalworking, is sufficient. For larger quantities, however, carbide tools, similar to those used for brass or aluminum machining, should be used. Water cooling is generally advisable. Cutting speed as for brass or aluminum.

For punching, tools made of hardened steel should be used. However, the material thickness of the workpiece to be machined should not exceed 10 mm. Max. material thickness for punching = 10 mm

Threads should only be cut if the connection is not exposed to excessive tensile loads. The pull-out strength is about one third of metallic threads, but sufficient strength for many applications with exact fit and adhesive use is definitely achievable. Pipe and trapezoidal threads allow better power transmission than metric threads.

FRP can be easily and firmly bonded with polyurethane and epoxy resin-based adhesives. However, the following instructions should be observed:

1. Roughen the surface 2. Remove dust 3. Degrease with solvent 4. Observe the manufacturer's guidelines when applying adhesive.

When riveting, the bore should be slightly larger than the rivet diameter. The use of adhesives to increase bond strength is recommended. The use of adhesive increases the bond strength.

For lightly loaded connections, self-tapping screws are sufficient. For heavily stressed connections, machine screws should be used. Also, for screwing, the use of adhesives to increase bond strength is recommended.

Before painting, the surface to be painted should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased with a solvent. We recommend a polyurethane-based system for the paint. Best painting results are achieved with 2-component PUR paints.

Since fiberglass mats are essentially made of polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, and acrylic resin, the adhesive should also be selected according to the resin type of the component to be bonded. Therefore, resin adhesives with chemically and physically similar properties to the respective plastic base of the GRP are suitable as structural adhesives.

Polyester resin adhesives, epoxy resin adhesives, and polyurethane or acrylate formulations are available on the market. Dissolving adhesives are less suitable. For high-strength bonding of GRP to metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, or steel, two-component structural adhesives based on acrylate or epoxy resin are recommended.

An example is 3M Scotch-Weld 7270 with a suitable epoxy or acrylate formulation and color indicator, which clearly indicates the curing status by changing the color from yellow to green.

So-called reactive adhesives are suitable for bonding wood (painted, primed, or coated) to glass fiber-reinforced thermoset plastic. However, different surface finishes influence the bonding properties. 3M Scotch-Weld DP 110, a fast-curing, clear, two-component construction adhesive based on epoxy resin, is recommended for this purpose. It also bonds glass fiber reinforced plastic to metal and a variety of other plastics, such as PC, rigid PVC, and ABS.

Bonding GRP (thermosetting) with wood (raw) or thermoplastic-thermosetting GRP combinations is possible with 3M Scotch-Weld DP 490, a tough, elastic, black, two-component, epoxy resin-based structural adhesive with increased heat resistance and good aging behavior.
