What is an FRP I Beam?
FRP I Beam, sometimes referred to as an FRP H Beam, is a structural profile made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP). Manufactured through pultrusion technology, these beams provide exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, electrical insulation, and resistance to chemicals and UV exposure. Unlike steel beams, FRP beams do not rust, warp, or require heavy maintenance, which makes them a cost-effective long-term solution.
Key Features of FRP I Beam
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio – Comparable to steel but much lighter.
Corrosion Resistance – Withstands acids, alkalis, saltwater, and chemicals.
Electrical & Thermal Insulation – Non-conductive and safe for electrical environments.
Durability – Long service life with minimal maintenance costs.
Customizable – Available in various sizes, colors, and surface finishes.
