At our company, we specialize in high-performance FRP pultruded channels designed for demanding industrial and infrastructure applications. Also known as FRP U channels or fiberglass C channels, these structural components offer unmatched durability, lightweight strength, and resistance to harsh environments.
Why Choose Our FRP Pultruded Channel?
Unlike traditional steel or aluminum channels, our fiberglass pultruded channels are engineered for long-term performance in corrosive, high-moisture, and chemically aggressive settings. Whether you need support structures, framing, or reinforcement, our FRP U channels provide a superior alternative.

Proven Performance & Industry Trust
Our FRP pultruded channels are tested and certified to meet ASTM D3916, ISO 9001, and NACE standards. Major refineries, shipbuilders, and construction firms rely on our fiberglass C channels for critical projects.
Real-World Success Stories
- Oil Refinery Walkway Replacement – A Texas-based refinery replaced corroded steel channels with our FRP U channels, eliminating rust issues and reducing maintenance costs by 60%.
- Marine Boardwalk Reinforcement – A coastal city in Florida used our fiberglass pultruded channels for a pier renovation, ensuring a 30+ year lifespan despite constant saltwater exposure.
Installation & Replacement Tips
- Cutting & Drilling: Use carbide-tipped tools for clean edges.
- Fastening: Stainless steel or FRP-compatible hardware recommended.
- Replacement: Unlike steel, our fiberglass C channels don’t require frequent replacements—just inspect for impact damage every 5 years.
Maintenance & Best Practices
- Cleaning: Simple soap and water wash to remove debris.
- Inspection: Check for surface cracks or UV degradation (if unpainted).
- Storage: Keep in a dry, shaded area if stored long-term.
Common Questions Answered
Q: How does FRP compare to steel in strength?
A: While steel has higher raw strength, FRP pultruded channels outperform in strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance.
Q: Can FRP channels be painted?
A: Yes, but it’s optional—gel-coated versions already offer UV protection.
Innovation & Future Developments
We continuously invest in FRP pultruded channel technology, including:
- Smart FRP: Embedded sensors for structural health monitoring.
- Hybrid Composites: Blending carbon fiber for extreme load applications.
At our company, we don’t just sell FRP U channels—we provide engineered solutions that outlast traditional materials. If you’re tired of rust, heavy lifting, and constant repairs, it’s time to switch to fiberglass C channels.
