FRP Composite Fasteners
Composite fasteners are ideal for applications that demand non-corrosive and non-conductive material properties. FRP nuts and bolts can be used in place of typical steel fasteners. GRP Australia supplies a range of M12, M16 and M20 nuts and bolts. FRP “bolts” are assembled with threaded rod (cut to size) and chemically bonded nuts.

FAQs
Where are FRP composite fasteners commonly used?
These fasteners are used in industries such as marine, chemical processing, construction, transportation, and infrastructure, especially where corrosion resistance and non-conductivity are important.
How do FRP composite fasteners compare to metal fasteners?
Unlike traditional metal fasteners, FRP fasteners do not rust, are much lighter, non-magnetic, and do not conduct electricity, making them ideal for specific applications that require these properties.
Are FRP composite fasteners easy to install?
Yes, they are generally easy to install and can often be worked with standard hand or power tools, similar to those used for metal or plastic fasteners.
Do FRP composite fasteners require special maintenance?
They require minimal maintenance, typically only routine inspections and occasional cleaning to remove debris or contaminants.
Are there limitations to using FRP composite fasteners?
While they are highly resistant to corrosion and chemicals, FRP fasteners may not match the highest mechanical strength of certain metal fasteners and can be sensitive to extremely high temperatures.
