Chemical resistance

GRP is a material that stands out for its very high chemical resistance, making it an ideal choice in environments where traditional materials quickly deteriorate.

GRP and Chemical Resistance – profiles, grids and structures that withstand aggressive environments.

GRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) is a material known for its very high chemical resistance, making it an ideal choice in environments where traditional materials quickly deteriorate. Depending on the choice of resin, fiberglass can be adapted to withstand acids, alkalis, solvents, saltwater, and other aggressive substances commonly found in industries, offshore applications, water treatment plants, cooling towers, and more.

This table is for reference only and refers to a fully cured resin without glass fibers lying on the surface. Where specific concentrations are mentioned, these refer to solutions in water.

Explanation
+ Good resistance in the temperatures printed.
o After some time, discoloration or a slight attack may occur to the surface. If possible, choose another resin.
The resin is attacked and will be destroyed;
it is not suitable for the application.
