FRP Structural Profile System for Frames, Platforms and Supports
Pultruded FRP structural profile system: I-beams, channels, angles, square tubes, flat bars and rods, cut and bolted into frames, platforms and supports. Rust free, non-conductive, RAL 7035 grey.
FRP Structural Profile System for Frames, Platforms and Supports
The FRP structural profile system is a set of pultruded fiberglass (FRP) shapes, such as I-beams, C-channels, angles, square hollow sections, round tubes, flat bars and rods, that are cut and bolted together into frames, platforms, pipe and cable supports, walkways and cooling tower structures. The profiles are made by pultrusion with isophthalic polyester resin and a surface veil, in RAL 7035 light grey. They come from our pultrusion partner Hexagon MF Composite Sdn Bhd in Port Klang and replace steel where it rusts.
Ringkasan: Sistem profil struktur FRP (gentian kaca) pultrusi: rasuk-I, saluran C, bar sudut, tiub segi empat, bar rata dan rod, dipotong dan dibolt menjadi rangka, platform dan penyokong. Tidak berkarat, tidak mengalirkan elektrik, warna kelabu RAL 7035.

Material and Features
- Material: Pultruded fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), isophthalic polyester resin
- No rust: the glass and resin do not corrode in wet, salty or chemical air
- Non-conductive: safer around cables, panels and switchgear
- Light: much lighter than steel, so frames are lifted and fixed by hand
- No painting: the colour runs through the material
- Surface veil: protects the glass fibres at the surface against UV and corrosion
Where It Is Used
- Platforms, walkways and stair frames in treatment plants
- Cooling tower structures and fan deck supports
- Pipe racks, cable supports and equipment frames in chemical areas
- Coastal, marine and offshore structures
- Handrails and access ladders built from the same profiles
Frequently Asked Questions
Which shapes make up the FRP structural profile system?
I-beams, C-channels, angle bars, square hollow sections, round tubes, flat bars, solid rods, square rungs, kick plates and fan deck. Each shape has its own product page with the sizes we stock.
Can FRP profiles replace steel beams and channels?
Yes, for light structures such as platforms, walkways and supports in corrosive areas. FRP is less stiff than steel, so the frame must be sized for FRP. Send your drawing and loads and we will check the sections.
What resin is standard?
Isophthalic polyester. Vinyl ester for strong chemicals, or fire-retardant resin (ASTM E84), can be made on request.
How are the profiles joined?
They are cut and drilled on site with normal tools and bolted together. Cut edges should be sealed with resin.
