GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a composite material made by reinforcing a plastic resin with glass fibres, resulting in a lightweight yet strong product. It’s widely used in industries such as automotive, marine, construction, and aerospace for manufacturing durable parts and structures that require high strength-to-weight ratios.
Wet lay-up is a traditional composite manufacturing process where dry reinforcement fibres, such as fibreglass mats or fabrics, are manually saturated with resin and then layered by hand into a mould. This cost-effective technique is commonly used for producing strong, lightweight parts in industries like marine, automotive, and construction.
Chop spray (or spray-up) is a composite manufacturing process where chopped fibreglass strands and resin are sprayed simultaneously onto a mould using specialised equipment. Compared to wet lay-up, chop spray is faster and better suited for producing large or complex shapes, but it typically results in parts with slightly lower strength and surface finish.
Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) is a precise composite manufacturing process where resin is injected under pressure into a closed mould containing dry fibre reinforcements. This method produces high-quality, strong, and consistent GRP parts with excellent surface finish, ideal for complex shapes and high-volume production in industries like automotive and aerospace.
GRP components are widely used in industries such as automotive, marine, construction, aerospace, and infrastructure due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. Common applications include boat hulls, vehicle body panels, building cladding, piping systems, and aerospace parts where durable, lightweight materials are essential.
GRP is lightweight, resistant to chemicals, and cost-effective for complex shapes. GRP has a higher strength-to-weight ratio and is more design and manufacturing flexible than metal or plastic alternatives.
GRP is highly resistant to chemicals, UV, corrosion, and water, making it ideal for harsh or outdoor uses.
We offer gloss, semi-gloss, or textured finishes, using gelcoats in a range of colours. Topcoat or paint may also be applied where required.
Outsourcing is cheaper, has greater time and investment savings, and eliminates technical overhead. We provide the tooling, material, and quality so that you can focus on your core business.
