FRP stands for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic. FRP laminate panels are composite sheets made from fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) laminated to a plywood panel. The result is a lightweight panel with good resistance to moisture, many chemicals, and impact.
TCH Hardware offers FRP laminate panels in multiple thicknesses. Available sizes and thicknesses vary by product. Refer to the individual product page for current specifications. Panels shipped by courier are typically cut to 4 ft x 3 ft sections.
Smooth FRP panels feature a flat, matte surface that is easy to clean and is commonly selected where a smooth, easy-to-clean surface is preferred. Textured FRP panels have an embossed or pebbled surface finish. Textured panels provide a surface pattern that can help conceal scratches and wear.
Yes, FRP laminate panels provide good resistance to moisture and many common industrial environments. FRP laminate panels are commonly used in case construction, transportation equipment, and enclosure applications where moisture resistance is important.
FRP panels can be installed using compatible panel adhesive, mechanical fasteners such as screws or rivets with trim caps, or a combination of both. For enclosures, panels are typically bonded or fastened to a sub-frame. Installation methods vary depending on the application and construction requirements. FRP laminate panels can be machined and fabricated using appropriate woodworking and panel fabrication equipment.
FRP panels are commonly used in industrial and commercial enclosure applications.FRP laminate panels are commonly used in ATA flight cases, road cases, equipment cases, transportation enclosures, and industrial panel applications.
FRP laminated plywood combines the structural properties of plywood with a durable FRP surface. Compared to standard plywood, it provides a finished appearance and improved resistance to moisture and surface wear. Material selection should be based on the application's structural, environmental, and fabrication requirements.
The FRP laminate used on TCH panels meets ATA specifications for case construction. Refer to the product page for panel specifications and construction details.
