Sectors

In the transport industry the use of these profiles has meant a revolution. Fiberglass offers excellent properties, both mechanical and chemical, as well as lightness, which undoubtedly have made them amply popular in comparison to conventional materials. All of it without compromising safety. Fiberglass’ properties are the following:

• Mechanical Resistance to collision.
• Insulating properties, both thermal and acoustic.
• Fireproof properties.
• Lightness.
• Durability.
• Flexibility.

These profiles can be used to carry out different installations: junction angles between panels, corner guards and flats as reinforcement and insulation and other structural profiles are some of the uses fiberglass provides offers within this sector. Within the sector of air transport, they are used for the manufacture of components for aircraft fuselage

Water treatment is another sector amply benefitted by the use of fiberglass profiles. These, with their excellent properties in wet areas and with adverse weather conditions, make them continuously used in this sector, hence, replacing conventional materials.
Fiberglass’ properties within this sector are the following:

• Resistance to wet areas.
• Resistance to adverse weather conditions.
• Resistance to corrosion.
• Resistance to diverse chemical agents.
• High durability.
• Lightness.

Agricultural holdings and livestock farms are possibly the most benefitted from the use of fiberglass profiling. These profiles have multiple applications in both sectors and their use is becoming more and more widespread in the latest years thanks to the advantages they offer over other conventional materials. Their resistance to adverse weather conditions enables their installation in outdoor areas without affecting any of their qualities. Moreover, their protection against UV-Rays and a variety of chemical agents prevent their deterioration over time. For this reason, their durability becomes evident, supposing a considerable saving for the client.
Fiberglass’ properties within this sector are the following:

• Mechanical Resistance to impacts.
• Resistance to corrosion.
• Resistance to various chemical agents.
• Lightness.
• Non-existent Maintenance.

Fiberglass profiles have numerous applications within the Agriculture and Livestock sector: support for trees and plants, fences for animals, structural profiles for cattle breeding or construction of greenhouses are some of the most common ones.

Within the building industry sector, fiberglass corrugated bars are used as a support material and replace conventional steel bars, especially in restorations and construction of dikes and bridges. They offer great mechanical and chemical resistance which has made them gain popularity over conventional materials.
Conventional profiles are also used as façade elements, balcony coatings, etc.
The properties corrugated bars offer are really numerous:

• Resistance to Chemical Agents.
• Resistance to corrosion.
• Mechanical Resistance.
• Lightness.
• Manageable.

Within the building industry sector, façade restoration, constructions near saline or wet environments or near the sea and prefabricated concrete elements are some of the applications of this material.

Alternative energies also benefit from the use of the properties of fiberglass. Thanks to their properties of resistance to corrosion, mechanical and chemical resistance, they can be installed outdoors without the material’s properties being affected.
Their light weight renders the use of heavy machinery unnecessary, both for their manipulation and transport, which translates into a considerable saving for the client.
Some of the advantages of fiberglass within this sector are the following:

• Resistance to corrosion.
• Impact Resistance.
• Resistance to UV-Rays.
• Lightness.
• Non-existent Maintenance.
• Durability.

Some of the applications of fiberglass in the alternative energies sector include: components for wind turbines blades, support for solar panels and others.

Thanks to pultrusion, an unlimited number of profiles can be created which enable their applications to be used in different sectors. There is room in the leisure and recreation sector for these profiles, too. Hence, the possibilities of applications of this type of profiling increase even more.

Some of the applications of these profiles within this sector include: bows and arrows, structures for camping tents, structures for carnival costumes, fishing rods, oars, pennants, ski sticks, sport races signposts, kite structures and others.

Their properties of resistance, lightness and durability make possible their use over the years, which means a considerable saving for the client without compromising the properties and advantages that this type of profiling offers.
