Corrosion-resistant
Moisture, salt and many chemicals do not corrode GRP. This extends its service life and reduces the need for coating and maintenance.
GRP for demanding applications
GRP solutions for industry, infrastructure and engineering.
Every industry has different requirements in terms of materials, design and operation. Fibrolux combines a wide range of standard GRP profiles with bespoke profiles, machining and engineering. This results in lightweight, corrosion-resistant and electrically insulating solutions that are tailored to the specific application, from the initial design right through to delivery ready for installation.

Advantages of the material
Designed for demanding operating conditions.
GRP comes into its own where moisture, chemicals, weight or electrical safety push conventional materials to their limits.
Lightweight and highly durable
Its low weight makes transport and installation easier, without compromising on the necessary mechanical stability.
Electrically insulating
Non-conductive components enhance safety in energy, railway and electrical applications and prevent unwanted current paths.
Predictable and versatile
Profiles, resin systems and machining processes are tailored to the loads, environmental conditions and installation requirements – from standard components right through to custom designs.
Typical requirements
The environment determines the solution.
Corrosion, weight, electrical safety and maintenance requirements determine which profile, grating or structure is suitable.

Frequently asked questions
GRP in practice.
Answers to key questions about materials, products and the development of industry-specific GRP solutions.
In which sectors is GRP used?
GRP is used wherever corrosion, weight, electrical insulation or maintenance requirements are key considerations. Typical sectors include the chemical industry, rail, electrical engineering, renewable energy, infrastructure, water management, offshore, vehicle manufacturing and architecture.
Why is GRP suitable for corrosive industrial environments?
Glass-fibre-reinforced plastic does not rust and is resistant to many chemicals, moisture and salt water. This often eliminates the need for costly coatings. Profiles, grating and structures have a long service life and require significantly less maintenance during operation.
What GRP products does Fibrolux offer for industry-specific solutions?
The range extends from standard GRP profiles and pipes, through GRP gratings, panels and structural elements, to access solutions, handrails, ladders and complete assemblies.
Does Fibrolux also develop bespoke profiles and structures?
Yes. If standard products are not sufficient, Fibrolux develops custom GRP profiles and bespoke design solutions. Engineering, material selection, dimensioning, machining and delivery ready for installation can all be provided from a single source.
How does GRP differ from steel or aluminium?
GRP combines low weight with high specific strength, corrosion resistance and electrical insulation. Compared with steel, this makes transport and installation easier; compared with metallic materials, GRP can reduce the need for coatings and regular maintenance in corrosive environments.
Does Fibrolux provide support with design and material selection?
Yes. To ensure a robust solution, we take into account mechanical loads, media, temperature, fire safety, electrical requirements and the installation conditions. On this basis, our experts provide support with profile selection, resin systems, design and production-friendly implementation.
