Glass fiber reinforced plastic pultruded grille still has huge development space in the future

After a period of development, FRP pultruded grille has almost replaced other varieties of grille products and become the leader in the industry, but this does not mean that the development of FRP pultruded grille has come to an end. Room for development. If enterprises think so, then the FRP pultruded grille industry is bound to fail in the near future. So, what kind of development trend will the glass fiber reinforced plastic pultruded grid show in the future?

1. The first is to learn from the lessons of Taiwan's FRP pultruded grille. In the last century, Taiwan's FRP pultruded grille became popular. Later, because of cut corners and poor quality, the company gradually withdrew from the market. Most of them were replaced by stainless steel grille. In contrast, in Japan, stainless steel grilles are not as good as FRP pultruded grilles. The grills used in Japan are almost 100% FRP.

Second, the grid veneer transitions from the traditional 1x1m to 2x1m, because the installation time is saved and the cost of the unit board is also reduced.

3. Thermoplastic glass fiber reinforced plastic has a series of advantages such as physical changes in the production process, no pollution, easy recycling, low density, and good impact toughness. GMT (Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastics) sheet material has been produced in China. With its molding, the production efficiency is several times higher than that of SMC molding (holding time is only about 1 minute). It has been used as a container abroad, and its working conditions are worse than that of grills. The SMC is not easy to recycle. Therefore, from the perspective of environmental protection and circular economy, FRTP should also be adopted. The original press and mold can be used, and only a heating oven (preheating GMT sheet) can be added.

Fourth, develop a series of products: use the characteristics of FRP corrosion resistance, adjust the SMC raw material formula, can produce chemical storage tanks, electroplating tanks, using its advantages of convenient installation, can make camp swimming pools, guard rooms and other facilities. For large tanks, pay attention to the selection of corrosion resistance and materials.

It can be seen that the future development of FRP pultruded grille is still very worth looking forward to, let us wait and see what happens to it.
