lasikuitulevyä

Lasikuitulevy, also known as fiberglass board or FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) panel, is a composite material made from glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. The glass fibers provide strength and rigidity, while the resin binds them together and protects them from the environment. This combination results in a material that is strong, lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals.

The manufacturing process typically involves weaving or matting glass fibers, which are then saturated with a thermosetting resin, such as polyester or epoxy. The saturated fibers are then cured under heat and pressure, forming a solid sheet. Lasikuitulevy can be produced in various thicknesses and densities to suit different applications. Its surface can be smooth, textured, or patterned, and it can be pigmented in a wide range of colors.

Lasikuitulevy finds extensive use in construction, transportation, marine, and industrial sectors. In construction, it is employed for wall panels, roofing, and cladding due to its weather resistance and insulation properties. In the automotive and aerospace industries, its lightweight yet strong nature makes it suitable for body parts and interior components. The marine industry utilizes its water resistance for boat hulls and decks. Its chemical inertness also makes it a good choice for tanks, pipes, and equipment in chemical processing plants. The material is relatively easy to fabricate and install, contributing to its popularity.
