FRP by Formglas is a versatile lightweight material that is durable and may be cast in a virtually endless array of shapes, colors and textures.

Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is a thermoset plastic composite constructed from many combinations of polymer resins, organic fillers, and fiberglass reinforcements engineered to achieve a desired performance from the product being produced. The greatest advantage of a fiberglass composite is the design flexibility it offers to architects, designers and fabricators, and the long-term durability of the material.



FRP by Formglas

• Can be produced in virtually any shape, and with Formglas' world class 3D modeling and 5-axis tooling capabilities, parts can be precision engineered. Curved, ribbed, corrugated or perforated components are just some of the possibilities
