What Are FRP Rock Bolts?
FRP Rock Bolts are structural reinforcements manufactured from fiber reinforced polymer composites. They are designed to secure unstable rock masses, prevent collapse, and enhance ground stability. Compared to conventional steel bolts, FRP bolts offer long-lasting durability, minimal maintenance, and resistance to aggressive chemicals, water, and electrochemical corrosion.
Key Features of FRP Rock Bolts
Corrosion Resistance: Performs reliably in acidic, alkaline, and saline environments.
High Tensile Strength: Comparable to steel while being significantly lighter.
Lightweight Design: Easy to transport and install, reducing labor costs.
Non-Conductive: Safe for use in electrical and electromagnetic-sensitive zones.
Fire & Thermal Resistance: Maintains structural integrity under high temperatures.
Cost-Effective: Longer service life reduces replacement frequency.
