GRP usage in highly corrosive environments

Due to its resistance against chemicals, salt water and acids, GRP is used increasingly in highly corrosive environments. Compared to steel, GRP has a long life span even in the adverse conditions in an acid scrubber.

GRP Stair Tread Covers

GRP Stair Tread Covers are the optimal solution to upgrade existing steel, concrete and wooden stairs which do not longer correspond to security statements.
Stair tread covers are an economical option to conventional solutions. They only need a minimal assembly effort and are customisable.

The black and yellow warning marks increase safety and thanks to the sanded surface high slip resistance for indoor and outdoor use ensured. (Anti-slip class R13)

Fibrolux GRP Profiles for use under water

Because of its technical features GRP is excellently suited for use in chlorine and saltwater. The combination of mechanical strength and the insensibility for corrosion without any additional coating, which is required in the steel processing, has been used in several projects.

In a recent implemented project Fibrolux delivered panel profiles with special flow-through openings as well as the sub-construction for the use of lifting floors in a dolphinarium. The low weight and the freedom from maintenance are also very important in this case.
This special floor construction enables an easy access for the zoo-keeper to the animals and provides an easy cleaning because it can be lifted above the waterline.

Fibrolux cable conductors for antenna systems of a space centre

At the beginning of 2009 the delivery of cable conductors occurred for antenna systems of a space centre. In this summer just 850 m of cable conductors with different widths were constructed, there approx. 75 modules were used in different executions (fork modules, reduction modules, crossroad modules, t-modules). The cable conductors were supported on one system developed by us, because these must not be mounted on the ground.

GRP and nature

Not only the industry knows about the values of reinforced plastic. Artists have recognised the qualities of GRP and use it in their work. This work of art consists of GRP rods which build a contrast to the surrounding nature. But by their natural movements they unite to one image.

Radially pultrusion profiles

Since 9 years Fibrolux manufactures radial bended pultrusion profiles. Recently we have experienced a high demand for these profiles which are straight in the case of loading, applicable for tensed-up constructions.

New Profile-Descriptions Online

Additionally to our GRP Profile-list we added some typical operation areas of the particular profiles. You can find information to the following profiles on this page, in the "Profile"-list.

• GRP H-Profiles	• GRP Flat Profiles	• GRP T-Profiles
• GRP U-Profiles	• GRP Rods	• GRP Rectangular Tubes
• GRP Angles	• GRP Tubes

In addition we have put some new information in the internet regarding our tool construction. If you have got demand on a profile which is not on the regular list, you can also take a look in menu-point "Custom Profiles" or get in direct contact to our employees.

GRP Cable-Ladders

You can find more information about the glass fibre reinforced ladders online. GRP-ladders are a real alternative to steel and high-grade steel. They are cheaper than other ones and because of the characteristics they are a real alternative to products with other materials.

Glass Fibre Ladder

The company Fibrolux GmbH has developed a ladder 100% free from metal. Compared with other ladders ours have a very high corrosion resistance, electrical and UV-resistance. The GRP-ladders fulfill all requirements of the ladder-norm DIN 131. The ladders are made of pultruded GRP-profiles. Because of the fact that we are a producer of these GRP-profiles, we are able to offer the ladders in a direct way at a competitive price. The product assortment contains at the moment only straight ladders. But we try to add some additional models in the future.
