Applications for GRP Pultruded products are rapidly evolving. Reduced mass, corrosion resistance and superior weight-strength ratios offer significant benefits in the built environment. From an initial range of niche uses to industry-wide delivery, the potential for implementation is limited only by creative design and imagination.

Structural profiles offer a unique combination of chemical resistance, size stability, high strength, thermal and electric non-conductivity. Each composite structure is available in a number of dimensions. This is to suit a variety of applications and design needs.

Major asset-owners are fostering innovation and steadily increasing the use of Machs GRP Pultruded Profiles in both reinforcement and new build projects. Just call us and we will be pleased to help.

Key Benefits of GRP Pultruded Profiles

From an initial range of niche uses to industry-wide delivery, the potential for implementation is limited only by creative design and imagination.

Benefits include:

Strong & Durable – Load tested for safety

Corrosion Resistant – Virtually maintenance free

High Impact Tolerance – Will not chip or crack

Chemical Resistant – Suits most environments

Low Electrical & Thermal Conductivity 

Lightweight – Reduced transport cost and Loads

High Fire Resistance

Easy Handling Fabrication & Assembly

Specifications

Machs Pultruded GRP profiles include Tube, I-Beam, Channel, Box Section and GRP Angle Section. These pultruded GRP profiles can be used in a wide range of applications. Structural profiles offer a unique combination of chemical resistance, size stability, high strength, thermal and electric non-conductivity.

The standard BS EN 13706 – Specification for Pultruded Profiles. This defines two grades of structural profiles.

All Machs Pultruded GRP profiles with a wall thickness of over 5mm thick meet the higher performance E23 grade. Those at 3-5mm wall meets the E17 grade.

Corrosion Resistance

Pultruded GRP profiles are able resist, without depletion, any exposure to constant splash, spills, fumes and gases and will demonstrate superior quality over other materials.

Fire Resistance

Meets Class 1 Flame Spread rating of 25 or less, in accordance with ASTM E-84 Tunnel Test Method. If a flame spread requirement of less than 25 is required we can supply this bespoke.
