    Market Definition

    FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) pipes are non-corrosive pipes having large diameters which are used for transporting fluids from one region to another. FRP pipes are being manufactured using resins, fiber (glass or carbon), silica sand and a few additives. FRP pipes are also referred to as GRP (glass reinforced plastic) pipes, since a majority of the manufactured products are reinforced with glass fibers. GRP is produced from glass fiber reinforcements surrounded by cured thermosetting resins. Generally, FRP pipes are classified on the basis of particular resin used to manufacture fiber glass pipes such as polyester (GRP), epoxy (GRE), and vinyl-ester (GRV) resins. The proper combination of resins, fibers, fillers, can create a product that provides a wide range of properties and characteristics such as high structural load capacity, high stiffness, UV resistance and so on. FRP/GRP pipes are widely employed in end-use industries such as oil & gas, sewage, chemicals, irrigation, desalination, power generation, potable water, among various other uses.
