 Pultruded Fiberglass Composite SheetFRP fiberglass Composite Structural Sheet
All sheets are sold full sheets only and must be shipped by common carrier.
Flatsheet - Thickness ranging from 1/8" up to 3/4" stocked in 3 resin series. Typical stock lengths of 48" x 96". Special stock lengths include 48" x 144" and with a "mill run" and length can be run to optimize your yields.
Fiberglass pultruded composite flat sheet offers the same physical appearance as our structural line of profile frp products.
Pultruded Fiberglass Composites are offered in three series designed for different environments and applications.
Standard Grade Is an all-purpose series utilizing an isophthalic polyester resin system. Color: Army Green
FR/UV Grade Is an all-purpose series utilizing a fire-retardant isophthalic polyester resin system with a UV inhibitor. Color: Navy Gray (plus certain handrail and fixed-ladder components in yellow)
VE Grade Is a premium series-both fire-retardant and highly corrosion resistant-utilizing a vinyl ester resin system with a UV inhibitor. Color: Sand Beige
Typical Application: WEIR PLATES & SCUM BAFFLES
Material: Weir, Baffles and other related products from Bedford Reinforced Plastics are produced from the pultrusion method using Polyester Resin with fiberglass reinforcement and machined by CNC.
Configurations: We offer a variety of weir configurations including V-notched, effluent, rectangular, and sharp-crested weirs, made to your specifications. Weir Joint and Weir Washers can be supplied with your Weirs. Weir and Baffle Plates are 1/4" thick, ranging in widths from 6" to 48" and lengths up to 20'. The standard color is olive green. Other thicknesses and colors are available.
Benefits: long service life, virtually maintenance free, high corrosion resistance, lower cost than stainless steel
Accessories Available: Baffle Joint (Splice) Plates, Weir Joint (Splice) Plates, Molded and Pultruded Baffle Brackets, and Washers
Typical Application: ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS / TELECOM / STEALTH CONCEALMENT / RF transparent
Once again, compared to traditional building materials such as steel, aluminum, and wood, Reinforced Plastics offer greater advantages due to the simple fact of being non-conductive, lightweight, and corrosion resistant. Bedford has successfully produced and supplied a broad range of products for different electrical applications. These applications range from a complete line of Cable Tray and Cable Tray Components, Ladder Rails, Transit Installations, Electrical Enclosure Units, Communication Tower component parts, FRP cross arms for new or existing utility poles, as well as many shapes to the Telecommunication Industry as the material is RF transparent.
Typical Application: MARINE FRONT / OFF SHORE
Being corrosion resistant, FRP profiles are ideal for waterfront and offshore applications. Simply said, when our products which are environmentally friendly through the Non-Leaching characteristics as well as no harmful preservatives added as found in wood, are immersed in water or subjected to a wet environment they will undoubtedly out perform traditional building materials. Wood rots and is susceptible to various types of marine woodborers. Steel will rust, and when the pH level of the water is either too low or too high, aluminum will deteriorate.
Additional benefits recognized by the off shore market are the fire retardant and non-conductivity properties our products offer. In a environment where fire or spark is the main threat, many companies have focused their attention to creating a safer work environment for their employees as well as protecting the million dollars of investment of each off shore drilling rig.
With the recent introduction of a proprietary interlocking seawall system, and the utilization of our standard composite Deck Board profile, the marine front industry is slowly taking on a new look that will certainly out last their traditional counterparts.
Typical Application: MILITARY
When the United States Military identified deteriorated, warped, and often splintered troop seats in the back of their 2 1/2 ton troop transport vehicles, they turned to the only practical alternative. They replaced these wooden fold down seats with a selection of Fiberglass Reinforced Pultruded systems.
The custom one piece fold up seat section allows troops to enter and exit the vehicles with little or no obstructions. The radius edges of the seat and back rest system offer a snag free environment for military personal to rapidly deploy the vehicle in offensive situations. Also, the lightweight composite material allows the military to overall enhance their payload capacity with additional troops, weapons, and supplies.
In addition to the design and lightweight benefits of this product line, it also offers the same benefits of all the products we manufacture.
High strength to weight ratio
Non-warping
Electrically non conductive
Dimensional stability
Low radar signature
An overall cheaper life cycle cost that requires little or no maintenance
