Technological developments in Polymer Industry will drive the market for FRP in Europe : Ken Research


According to the study “Europe FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) Grating Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, fiber reinforced plastic density has one-fourth than that of steel which means that, in several instances, equipment can be handled or installed manually instead of using installing equipments. Fiber reinforced plastics are easy to repair and do not require arc-welding in hazardous industrial areas. Almost all variants of fiber reinforced plastic have properties and capabilities that metals lack in terms of less cost compared to metals such as austenitic stainless steels, high-nickel-content alloys, and titanium. The attractive characteristics of fiber reinforced plastic are low density, offers good strength-to-weight ratio, good thermal insulator and good electric insulator. Fiber reinforced plastic are used in the storage of fuel oil, middle distillates, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Fiber reinforced plastic tanks used in various industries are made up of isophthalic-based and terephthalic-based resins that are recommended for storage of oil and gas products.
Fiber reinforced plastics are reinforcing fibers in a polymer constituent or matrix available in the form of mat, fabric, or components. Fiber reinforced plastic is also known as glass reinforced plastic, is a modern composite material used in the construction of chemical plant equipments such as tanks and vessels. It is a well known composite material as it can combine widely with divergent properties of its constituents into a unique material. Water treatment plants, waste water treatment plants, chemical industries, and oil & gas industries are the major consumers of fiber reinforced plastics because they are light weight, possess superior properties of composites, low maintenance, and long product life. Fiber reinforced plastic has replaced other costlier metals in several industrial process equipment such as tanks, piping, duct and hood systems, and reaction vessels. Fiber reinforced plastics used in construction of industrial equipment is available in a wide assortment of shapes, sizes, and capacities to meet unlimited storage and various processing needs.
Molded grating and pultruded grating are the two types of FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating available in Europe. Various applications of FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating in Europe are industrial, pulp, paper, food, beverage, mining, oil, gas and others. Geographically, FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating in Europe is spread across Germany, Russia, UK, France, Italy and other regions. The leading players in FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating in Europe are AGC Matex Co. Ltd., Bedford Reinforced Plastics, Inc., Creative Pultrusions Inc., Delta Composite Structures, LLC, Eurograte Fiberglass Grating, Exel Composites Oyj, Ferrotech International FZE, Fibergrate Composite Structures Ltd., Fibrolux GmbH, McNichols Company, Meiser GmbH, Strongwell Corporation, Suzhou Grating Co., Ltd. (iGrid) and Techno Composites Domine GmbH.
Advanced technological developments in the areas of sciences and nanotechnology will drive the market for fiber-reinforced plastic grating in Europe. More consumption of FRP is recorded over the recent years due to increasing applications that will enhance the growth of this market over the next few years.
