Sectors

In the transport industry, the use of these profiles has been a revolution. Fiberglass offers excellent mechanical and chemical properties while also being lightweight, which has undoubtedly made it popular compared to conventional materials — all without compromising safety.
The properties offered by fiberglass are as follows:

• Mechanical impact resistance

• Insulating properties, both thermal and acoustic

• Fire resistance

• Light weight

• Durability

• Flexibility

These profiles can be used for a wide range of installations. Joint angles between panels, corner protectors and plates as reinforcement and insulation, and other structural profiles are some of their uses in this sector. In the aerospace industry, they are used in the manufacture of aircraft fuselage components.

Alternative energies also benefit from the properties of fiberglass. Thanks to its resistance to corrosion, chemicals and impacts, it can be installed outdoors and under adverse weather conditions without losing its properties.
In addition, its low weight means that transport and handling do not require heavy machinery, resulting in cost savings for the client.
Some advantages of fiberglass in this sector are:

• Corrosion resistance

• Impact resistance

• UV protection

• Light weight

• Zero maintenance

• Durability

Some applications of this material in the alternative energy sector include: wind turbine blade components and solar panel supports, among others.

The chemical industry is one of the sectors that benefits the most from the use of fiberglass in its facilities. Its insulating properties — both thermal and magnetic — along with resistance to various chemical agents and harsh weather environments have made these profiles popular compared to conventional materials.
The properties offered by fiberglass in this sector are:

• Resistance to various chemical agents

• Corrosion resistance

• Resistance to adverse weather conditions

• High durability

• Low weight

Fiberglass profiles are used in the manufacturing and construction of walkways, ladder cages, or access ladders to installations and machinery. Their high strength and durability allow them to be reused in different facilities, resulting in economic savings for the client. Their lightweight nature also eliminates the need for heavy machinery for transport or installation.

The telecommunications sector also benefits from the use of these materials. Thanks to their mechanical, chemical and corrosion resistance, they can be installed outdoors without their properties being affected. They withstand harsh weather conditions and have high durability, allowing them to be reused in different installations.
The advantages that fiberglass profiles offer in this sector are:

• Impact resistance

• Resistance to adverse weather conditions

• High durability

• Light weight

• Insulating

• Transparent to EMI/RFI waves

The most common use is in the construction of telecommunications antennas.

Thanks to pultrusion, an endless variety of profiles can be created, allowing their applications to extend across multiple sectors. These profiles also find their place in leisure and recreation, further expanding the range of possible uses for this type of profile.

Some applications in leisure and recreation include: bows and arrows, tent structures, carnival costume frames, fishing rods, oars, ski poles and pennants, sports road signage, kite frames, among others.

Their properties of strength, light weight and durability allow them to be used for many years, resulting in economic savings for the client without sacrificing the benefits and advantages this type of profiling offers.

Agricultural and livestock operations greatly benefit from fiberglass profiles. They have multiple applications in both sectors, and their use has expanded in recent years thanks to the advantages they offer over conventional materials. Their resistance to adverse weather conditions allows them to be installed outdoors without losing any of their advantages. In addition, UV protection and resistance to a wide range of chemical agents prevent deterioration over time. All of this results in evident durability and economic savings for the customer.
The advantages of fiberglass profiles in these sectors are:

• Mechanical resistance to impacts

• Corrosion resistance

• Resistance to various chemical agents

• Lightweight

• Zero maintenance

Fiberglass profiles in the agricultural and livestock sector have numerous applications: plant and tree supports, animal fencing, structural profiles for livestock breeding, or greenhouse construction are some of the most common uses.

Water treatment is another sector that greatly benefits from fiberglass profiles. Thanks to their excellent performance in humid environments and under adverse weather conditions, they are used continuously, replacing conventional materials.
The properties offered by profiles in this sector include:

• Resistance to humid environments

• Resistance to adverse weather conditions

• Corrosion resistance

• Resistance to various chemical agents

• High durability

• Low weight

The naval industry also benefits from the use of these materials. Composite materials provide this sector with properties such as chemical resistance to corrosion, mechanical strength and therefore high durability, which clearly gives an advantage over conventional materials.
The properties offered by composite materials are:

• Resistance to chemical agents

• Mechanical resistance

• Corrosion resistance

• Light weight

• Durability

• Zero maintenance

In this sector, composite profiles are used in the following areas: ladders, railings, catamaran battens, sailing components, beacons, masts, awnings, among others.

In the construction sector, corrugated fiberglass bars are used as support and replacement for conventional steel bars, especially in restoration projects and in the construction of dikes and bridges. They offer both mechanical and chemical resistance, which has made their use more popular compared to conventional materials.
Conventional profiles are also used as façade elements, drip edges, balcony coverings, etc.
The properties offered by corrugated bars are numerous:

• Resistance to chemical agents

• Corrosion resistance

• Mechanical strength

• Light weight

• Easy handling

In the construction sector, façade restructuring, constructions in saline or humid environments or near the sea, and prefabricated concrete elements are some of the applications of this material.

The electrical and electronics sectors also benefit greatly from composite materials. Thanks to their resistance to corrosion, and their chemical and mechanical resistance, they can be installed outdoors without the material losing its properties. All this has made composites popular in this sector compared to conventional materials.
Some of the advantages of fiberglass are:

• Impact resistance

• Corrosion resistance

• Resistance to chemical agents

• Transparent to EMI/RFI waves

• Lightweight

• Zero maintenance

• Durability

Some applications in these sectors include: poles and streetlights, insulating trays, ladders, antennas and electronic component parts, among others.

Architecture has always sought designs that meet the needs of both the architect and the end client. Thanks to the pultrusion process, the possibilities for creating different types of profiles are unlimited, opening a new design field in which both parties can be satisfied.

Fiberglass profiles offer the following properties and advantages: mechanical and chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, insulation, light weight and fire-resistant properties — features that are making their use in both public and residential projects increasingly popular compared to conventional materials.

They offer numerous installation possibilities: façades, advertising poles, joint angles between profiles, walkways, and profiles with structural purposes are among their most common applications.
