The FRP fiberglass Reinforced Polyester Advantage
Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester when you need durability, ease of handling and customizing options, we've got you covered. Our impact resistant, maintenance-free fiberglass enclosures are designed to protect against the toughest elements in the most harsh environments. Compared to other metal enclosures, such as carbon and stainless steel, fiberglass also offers the following advantages:
- Resists a broad range of chemicals, unaffected by moisture and provides resistance to UV rays.
- Lighter weight, lower shipping costs and easier to install in wall or pole mounted applications.
- Nonconductive and is an insulator, provides a safe barrier and protection for the general public.
- Provides sufficient impact resistance and will maintain a sealed closure for electrical equipment.
- Molded in color, no painting or coating required.
- Lower installation cost and longer product life (~10 times compared to carbon steel).
- Transparent to radio waves and EMI/FRI transmissions, used for radar and antennae enclosures.
- Easier to modify; for required holes or electrical service entry, easier to punch, drill or saw with lower associated costs. Also easier/safer to modify or repair without need for arc welding in hazardous areas.
- Material has no residual scrap value, enclosure control panels are less susceptible to vandalism.
