FRP structural profiles are composite sections made through the pultrusion process, combining glass fiber reinforcement with thermosetting resins. The result is a material that offers high tensile strength, electrical insulation, and outstanding resistance to moisture and chemicals — ideal for demanding industrial and marine environments.
Common types include:
FRP Channels (C-shaped) – Used for framing, cable trays, and walkway supports.
FRP Angles (L-shaped) – Provide structural bracing and reinforcement for platforms and machinery bases.
FRP Tubes and Square Sections – Ideal for handrails, fencing, and light structural frameworks.
Each profile type can be customized by resin system (polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy) depending on strength and chemical resistance requirements.
| Property | Typical Range | Advantage Over Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 1.8–2.0 g/cm³ | ~75% lighter |
| Tensile Strength | 200–900 MPa | Non-corrosive & impact-resistant |
| Thermal Conductivity | 0.25 W/m·K | Excellent insulation |
| Corrosion Resistance | High | Immune to rust and chemical attack |
The combination of light weight and high stiffness makes FRP ideal for structures exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor environments — such as cooling towers, bridges, and offshore platforms.
FRP structural profiles are used across industries such as:
Construction and Infrastructure: Platforms, ladders, and stair systems.
Transportation: Walkways, enclosures, and vehicle body reinforcements.
Chemical Plants: Cable trays, supports, and corrosive area structures.
Water Treatment: FRP grating frameworks and maintenance platforms.
Each application benefits from the non-conductive and UV-resistant nature of fiberglass composites, reducing maintenance frequency and long-term operational costs.

FRP channels, angles, and tubes are produced through continuous pultrusion, where glass fibers are pulled through resin and a heated die to form precise cross-sections.
This ensures:
Dimensional consistency across large runs
Smooth surface finish
High fiber content (up to 70%) for enhanced strength
Modern production lines — such as those used by GTOFRP — enable custom geometries and fiber orientations, providing tailored solutions for structural engineers.
Corrosion resistance: Ideal for marine, chemical, or wastewater environments
Lightweight: Simplifies installation and transport
Dielectric properties: Suitable for power plant and substation structures
Design flexibility: Available in various colors, shapes, and surface textures
