FRP Rods Buying Guide

Key Notes‌:

  1. Size Customization‌:
    • Diameters up to 50 mm and lengths up to 12 m are achievable for specialized needs.
  2. Material Selection‌:
    • Epoxy/Vinyl Ester‌: Optimal for harsh environments (chemical/thermal stability).
    • Polyester‌: Budget-friendly for non-critical applications.
  3. Certifications‌:
    • Ensure compliance with ASTM D3916 (mechanical testing) and ISO 9001.
  4. Surface Finishes‌:
    • Textured surfaces improve grip, while smooth finishes suit electrical insulation.
  5. Load vs. Weight‌:
    • Larger diameters increase load capacity but add weight (density: 1.8–2.0 g/cm³).
