FRP products are not only an ideal alternative to traditional building materials, but in certain applications, they should be the only choice. This course demonstrates the value of FRP‘s core features of corrosion resistance, nonconductivity, and overall lighter weight than steel by up to 70%. The additional primary properties and benefits of FRP are also discussed, showing how FRP can enhance project design, speed up installation, and solve challenges in numerous industries.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Summarize how the primary components, the pultrusion or molding processes, and the different resin formulations are combined to create FRP products that can meet specific application requirements.
  • Recall the performance properties and construction and long-term benefits of FRP that contribute to project safety, durability, aesthetics, and cost savings.
  • Describe FRP products, including gratings, sound barrier walls, guardrails, handrails, stairs, and ladders, that offer slip resistance and withstand corrosion, UV damage, impact, and more for a long-lasting, safe user environment.
  • Discuss the industries and applications that benefit from FRP products, especially those that contend with corrosive environments, harsh weather conditions, wet walking surfaces, fire risk, or electrical safety issues.
