Plastic reinforced transversely with glass fibre mats offers innumerable benefits, including extremely high strength and high corrosion resistance. In addition, GRP profiles are electrically and thermally insulating, easy to process and have low weight. The weight-saving compared to steel is about 30%, allowing constructions to be developed that are many times lighter.
Profiles of glass fibre-reinforced plastic are used in many areas. In electrical engineering, medical technology and industry, among others, people trust in their outstanding properties and employ them on an ever-increasing scale.
Our GRP profiles are manufactured using the “pultrusion” process. By contrast with the extrusion process where the material is pushed through a die, the glass fibres are drawn here through a tank filled with resin. This enables efficient production and high flexibility.
And by the way – a speciality at IsoProfil is the combination of the best of two worlds: the combination of aluminium and plastic results in profiles that satisfy the highest demands even in the long term.
Our GRP profiles are safe, sturdy, resistant, durable and easy to install. And because they can also be easily adapted to special needs, they are successfully used in a large number of areas. You will find our GRP profiles in use, for example, in:
Railings
Electric motors
Transformers & coils
Electrical industry: Insulating spacer profiles in electronic windings
Our GRP profiles have a great many advantages over traditional materials. Their high strength combined with low weight, their corrosion and weathering resistance, the simple and inexpensive processing and assembly and not least the extremely long service life make GRP profiles an economically attractive alternative to traditional materials such as aluminium or steel in many areas.
The environmental footprint of GRP profiles is excellent. On the one hand, far less energy is used for their production than for steel and aluminium profiles. In addition, the material is almost indestructible and therefore has an extremely long service life. And should the profiles ever have to be scrapped, GRP is 100% recyclable.
