FRP Composite Fasteners

FRP Composite Fasteners

FRP composite fasteners are innovative, non-corrosive, and non-conductive solutions designed to replace traditional steel fasteners in challenging environments.

Comprised of high-quality materials such as threaded rods, hex nuts, washers, and bolts, FRP composite fasteners deliver exceptional reliability, durability, and resistance to environmental stressors. Carefully engineered to excel under harsh conditions, these fasteners are suitable for industrial, marine, and electrical applications where performance and safety are paramount.

FAQs

These fasteners are used in industries such as marine, chemical processing, construction, transportation, and infrastructure, especially where corrosion resistance and non-conductivity are important.

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.

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.

They require minimal maintenance, typically only routine inspections and occasional cleaning to remove debris or contaminants.

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.
