Glass Fibre Rectangular White Bar
Description
Our Glass Fibre Bars are pultruded in a polyester matrix to BS EN 13706 specifications. Small cross-section bars are usually manufactured using a unidirectional fibreglass orientation with a smooth surface finish. For larger profiles the fibreglass layup is a combination of multi layered cross-ply glass fibre fabrics with a smooth surface finish, giving an enhanced across the axis strength for all round excellent mechanical properties.
With a tensile strength that surpasses steel, these bars are capable of withstanding high loads and stresses, making them ideal for use in applications where strength and durability are crucial. Additionally, they offer excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties.
Our Glass Fibre Bars are highly versatile and can be easily machined and cut to size, allowing for easy customization to meet the unique requirements of your project. They are also resistant to corrosion and UV radiation, making them a reliable and long-lasting solution.
These bars are the perfect solution for anyone seeking a high-performance, lightweight, and durable material. With their exceptional strength and versatility, they offer an ideal solution for a wide range of applications. Please ask the Plastock team for more information on our products and how we can help you achieve your project goals.
