Glass Fiber Pultrusion FRP Roofing Sheet

Glass fiber extruded FRP roof panel is a composite material roof panel made using glass fiber extrusion technology, which has excellent performance and wide applications. This article will introduce the manufacturing process, performance characteristics, application fields, and future development prospects of fiberglass extruded FRP roof panels.
1、 Manufacturing process of fiberglass extruded FRP roof panel
The glass fiber extrusion process is a continuous method for producing high-performance composite materials. In this process, glass fibers and other reinforcing materials are impregnated in resin, and then these materials are placed in forming molds. In the mold, these materials are further compressed and excess resin is discharged. Subsequently, under hot conditions, the resin solidifies and causes glass fibers and other reinforcing materials to bond together, forming the desired shape and thickness.
The manufacturing process of fiberglass extruded FRP roof panels is as follows:
Soak continuous glass fiber bundles into resin to form resin impregnated glass fiber bundles.
Place the resin soaked fiberglass tow in the molding mold and further compress and discharge excess resin in the mold.
By heating and pressing, the resin is cured and the glass fiber bundles are bonded together.
Remove the cured composite roof panel from the mold and perform necessary trimming and cutting.
2、 Performance characteristics of fiberglass extruded FRP roof panels
The fiberglass extruded FRP roof panel has the following performance characteristics:
High strength and stiffness: Due to the high strength and stiffness of glass fiber, FRP roof panels made using glass fiber extrusion technology also have high strength and stiffness.
