Description

Powerprofiles offers a wide selectioin of structural shapes to comple-ment our line of fiberglass grating . Fiberglass structural shapes have one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any structural product ,as well as superior corrosion resistance.
Fiberglass structural shapes are manufactured using the pultrusion process. Glass mat and roving are drawn through a resin bath and pulled through a heated die to form the desired shape. This process can yield almost any profile shape commonly used in structural construction.
Fiberglass structural shapes are dimensionally stable, as well as thermally and electrically non-conductive. Being easy to fabricate as well as lightweight, fiberglass structural shapes are also easy to install, reducing costs associ-ated with special lift equipment and tools.
PowerGrate structural shapes are available in a wide vanity of shapes, including I beam, equal angle, channel, square tube, and round tube, concrete embedment angle is also available in a variety of sizes for use in areas where traditional metal embedment angle may corrode prematurely.
Fiberglass structural shapes are available in two main resins: VEFR-25, a vinyl ester resin with superior corrosion properties, IFR-25, a premium polyester resin. Both resins have a standard flame spread rating of 25 or less as per ASTM E-84. Special resins are available upon request.
