Also known as glass-fiber reinforced plastic, it is an exceptionally strong and versatile material. Unlike traditional thermoplastics, it has unique properties such as light weight and formability, making it ideal for a wide range of applications across industries, such as speedboats, cars, bathtubs, hot tubs, water tanks, roofs, pipes and decorative cladding.
Its exceptional strength and flexibility to be formed into almost any shape make it the preferred choice for industrial engineers developing sustainable products.
