Classification | Recommended Sizes | Material/Process | Temperature Range | Key Parameters | Typical Applications |
Structural FRP Rod | • Diameter: 3 mm – 50 mm • Length: 3 m – 12 m (standard/custom) | Resin: Epoxy/Vinyl Ester Reinforcement: E-glass fiber | -40°C to +120°C | • Tensile Strength: 300–450 MPa • Flexural Strength: 200–350 MPa | Reinforced concrete, bridges, marine structures |
Electrical Insulation | • Diameter: 5 mm – 20 mm • Surface: Smooth/Textured | UV-resistant coating Low thermal conductivity | -30°C to +100°C | • Dielectric Strength: 15–25 kV/mm • Flame Retardant (UL94-V0) | Insulators, cable trays, substation components |
Chemical-Resistant | • Diameter: 10 mm – 40 mm • Custom lengths: Up to 12 m | Resin: Vinyl Ester/Epoxy Acid/alkali-resistant additives | -40°C to +110°C | • Chemical Resistance: Acids, alkalis, solvents • Compressive Strength: 150–250 MPa | Chemical processing equipment, wastewater systems |
Lightweight Utility | • Diameter: 2 mm – 25 mm • Weight: 1.8–2.0 g/cm³ | Polyester resin Pultruded for uniformity | -20°C to +80°C | • Impact Resistance: 50–100 J/m • Cost-effective for general use | Handrails, tool handles, agricultural supports |

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