Description
Our Premium Glass Fibre Bars are pultruded in a polyester matrix to BS EN 13706 specifications. Small cross-section bars are usually manufactured using a unidirectional fibreglass orientation with a smooth surface finish. For larger profiles, the fibreglass layup is a combination of multi-layered cross-ply glass fibre fabrics with a smooth surface finish, providing enhanced strength across the axis and excellent mechanical properties.
With tensile strength that surpasses steel, these bars can withstand high loads and stresses, making them ideal for applications where strength and durability are crucial. They also offer excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties.
Our Premium Glass Fibre Bars are highly versatile and can be easily machined and cut to size, allowing for customization to meet the unique requirements of your project. They are resistant to corrosion and UV radiation, making them a reliable and long-lasting solution.
These bars are the perfect solution for anyone seeking a high-performance, lightweight, and durable material. With their exceptional strength and versatility, they offer an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.
