Certainly! Here's a more detailed description of the properties of fiberglass rods:
(1)High strength-to-weight ratio
Fiberglass rods are valued for their lightweight yet strong properties, with a relative density of approximately 1.9. They weigh only 1/4 to 1/5 of carbon steel but have comparable or superior tensile strength, making them ideal for weight-sensitive applications like aviation, rocketry, spacecraft, and high-pressure vessels. Certain epoxy FRP variants can achieve strengths exceeding 400 MPa in various tests.
(2)Corrosion resistance
FRP is highly corrosion-resistant, withstanding exposure to atmospheric conditions, water, acids, alkalis, salts, oils, and solvents. Fiberglass bar is widely used for chemical anti-corrosion applications, replacing traditional materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, wood, and non-ferrous metals.
(3)Flexibility
Fiberglass rods can be engineered to be flexible, making them suitable for applications where some level of bending or flexing is required without breaking.
(4)Electrical insulation
Fiberglass rods have excellent insulation properties, and strong dielectric characteristics at high frequencies, and are widely used in microwave transmission, such as in radomes, ensuring reliable electrical insulation and efficient signal transmission in various applications.
(5)Thermal insulation
FRP has a low thermal conductivity at only 1.25 ~ 1.67 kJ/(m·h·K) at room temperature, making it an excellent choice for thermal insulation applications. It is effective in providing thermal protection and resistance to ablation in cases of ultra-high temperatures, safeguarding spacecraft from high-speed airflow exceeding 2000°C.
(6)Superior Manufacturing Techniques
The FRP manufacturing process offers flexibility in product design, technical specifications, and quantities. It allows for one-time molding, which is cost-effective and advantageous for producing complex-shaped products or small batches, showcasing FRP's technological superiority.
(7)Dimensional stability
Fiberglass rods maintain their shape and dimensions under various environmental conditions, ensuring consistency and reliability in performance.
(8)Radiofrequency transparency
Fiberglass rods can be transparent to radio frequency waves, making them suitable for use in applications where signal transmission or reception is important, such as in electronics or communication devices.
APPLICATION

PACKING AND STORAGE
Fiberglass rod packaging can vary based on the specific requirements and dimensions of the rod.
Typically, fiberglass rods are packaged into bundles or coils and then protected with suitable materials such as plastic wrap, shrink wrap, or cardboard.
Additionally, if the quantity is large, the poles can be mounted on pallets and secured with strapping to ensure safe transportation.
When shipping internationally, the bars are packaged in compliance with relevant regulations and standards to ensure their safe and reliable delivery. We can also install iron frames for reinforcement. If you have specific packaging needs or concerns, please feel free to provide more details for a custom solution.
THE PRODUCTION STEPS FOR FIBERGLASS RODS
Step 1 involves determining the necessary amount of fiberglass direct roving based on the rod size and resin-to-fiber ratio.
Step 2 Direct roving is immersed in resin to establish a strong bond.
Step 3 Consists of extruding and eliminating any surplus resin to achieve the optimal resin content.
Step 4 the prepared fiberglass roving is placed into pre-forming molds in readiness for the subsequent molding process.
Step 5 The pre-formed roving is heat-cured in molding molds to solidify the resin and produce a durable fiberglass rod.
