FRP VS Steel
Leihong fiberglass reinforced plastic is highly corrosion resistant. So unlike steel, it won't rust when it's exposed to harsh weather and chemicals.
It's also nonconductive and impact resistant.
Pound for pound, our FRP structural members are stronger than many steels in the lengthwise direction, and weigh up to 75% less.
Compare to steel, our FRP offers these advantages:
- The strength of steel at 1/4 the weight
- Simple fabrication with standard tools-no welders or cutting torches.
- Molded-in color and resion options, including fire retardant.
FRP VS Aluminum
Leihong's fiberglass shapes won't corrode and are non-conductive.Unlike aluminum, an advantage of FRP is its low thermal conductivity,making it a good insulator. And FRP pultrusions won't deform under impact.
FRP VS Wood
When it comes to structural applications, fiberglass reinforced plastic offers significant advantages compared to timber. Unlike wood, our fiberglass shapes won't warp, rot or decay from exposure to moisture. They're resistant to corrossion, insects, mold and mildew. Best of all, they don't need enviromentally hazardous coating or preservatives to deliver exceptional durability.
