Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GRP)

A Disruptive Material

Excellent characteristics in favour of demanding coverings.

Kutip produces coverings made of an extraordinary material - glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP). GRP has outstanding features: highly solid, chemically resistant and extremely durable.

GRP: very reliable, highly elastic and resistant to bending.
Glass fibre reinforced plastics are “programmable” materials. They belong to the category of so called “anisotropic composites”, which are composed of glass fibres and three-dimensional resin. Glass fibres absorb tractive forces virtually without strain. They are durable, reliable, elastic and resistant to bending.

GRP in Comparison
Glass fibre reinforced plastics are lighter and more corrosion resistant than other materials such as iron, construction steel, titanium and aluminium. Furthermore, glass fibre reinforced plastics are more cost-effective and more chemical resistant. In addition, GRP is lighter than concrete or ceramic materials. Compared to timber, glass fibre reinforced plastics are more solid, harder, more age-resistant and substantially more flame-resistant.
