We combine advanced pultrusion process control, rigorous material science, and decades of application engineering to deliver FRP profiles that outperform traditional materials in the most demanding environments.
Each discipline reinforces the others — precise process control enables superior material performance, validated by comprehensive testing, and made accessible through our know-how transfer programs.
Continuous manufacturing of constant-cross-section FRP profiles through fiber reinforcement, resin impregnation, heated die forming, and precision pulling. Our lines deliver repeatable mechanical properties at industrial throughput.
Fiber-reinforced polymers outperform steel, aluminum, timber, and concrete across weight, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and lifecycle cost. See the full property-by-property comparison.
ISO 9001 certified production with EN 13706 and ASTM compliance. Every profile undergoes tensile, flexural, impact, and Barcol hardness testing before shipment.
From consulting engagements to full turnkey pultrusion line installations, our engineering team transfers decades of composite manufacturing expertise to your operation.
Calculate beam deflection, bending stress, and find equivalent FRP replacements for steel and aluminum sections. EN 13706 and ASTM compliant.
Calculate whole-window thermal transmittance (Uw) per EN ISO 10077-1. Compare FRP, aluminum, PVC, and timber frames with double, triple, and quadruple glazing.
Concise, citation-ready responses to the questions our engineering team is asked most often. For deeper context, see the pultrusion process, FRP vs traditional materials, and quality testing pages.
In North America, ASCE/SEI 74-23 (Pre-Standard for LRFD of Pultruded FRP Structures) is the primary reference. In Europe, EN 13706-1/2/3 defines grades E17 and E23 and test methods. Additional references include the EUROCOMP Design Code and ACI 440 guidelines for FRP rebar.
Dimensional tolerance is typically ±0.25 mm on cross-section (EN 13706 / ASTM D3917), straightness 1.5 mm/m, and twist 2°/m. F1 Composite verifies every production run with SPC monitoring and dimensional inspection per ASTM D3917.
45–65% glass fiber by weight in general structural profiles, verified by burn-off testing per ASTM D2584. Unidirectional-dominant sections (e.g. flat bar, rod) can reach 70% glass for maximum stiffness-to-weight.
Longitudinal elastic modulus is 17–28 GPa for E-glass/polyester pultruded profiles, compared with 200 GPa for steel and 69 GPa for aluminum. Because modulus is lower, deflection (L/360 limit) typically governs FRP design rather than strength.
Bolted connections (stainless steel A2/A4 or FRP bolts) are most common, with minimum edge distance 4× bolt diameter and torque M12 = 20–30 Nm. Adhesive bonding (methacrylate or epoxy) or hybrid bolted-bonded joints are used for load-critical connections. No welding — thermoset FRP cannot be welded or heated.
Standard polyester FRP is self-extinguishing (UL 94 V-0). With fire-retardant additives, FRP achieves ASTM E84 Class I surface burning. Phenolic-resin pultruded profiles achieve Class 1 surface spread of flame (BS 476 Part 7), low smoke, and low toxicity — qualified for rail interiors per EN 45545-2 and offshore applications.
