Fibreglass moulding is forming products and parts of products from fibreglass resin. To duplicate a product using moulding, you must follow a pattern representing the final product. Fibreglass moulds are durable, long-lasting, and inexpensive. The surface of the mould is paintable.
Fibreglass Moulding Applications
Fibreglass moulding is a low-cost method of producing inexpensive and long-lasting products and parts. Fibreglass materials are non-conductive, stronger, and more durable than some metals; they can also be formed into complex shapes and are chemically inert.
1. Construction of Fibreglass Boats
Wood and steel are no longer used in the construction of boats. The parts of a boat are now made of fibreglass; the process begins with spraying the fibreglass mould with gelcoat, followed by applying fibreglass cloth, which is then wetted with resin and allowed to cure.
2. Fibreglass Storage Tanks
Rainwater, liquid fertiliser, oil field storage, water treatment, and irrigation water can all be collected in these tanks. They come in various sizes, with some holding up to a million gallons. Fibreglass storage tanks are available with cone bottoms, horizontals, uprights, and open tops.
3. Fibreglass Pipes
These pipes are lightweight, strong, and resistant to temperature fluctuations and corrosion. They are simple to maintain and set up. They have a smooth outer finish as well.
4. Building Materials Made of Fibreglass
Architects use home roofing materials made of fibreglass because they are easily shaped and good for sealing and protecting structures.
5. Fibreglass Platforms
Fibreglass is a sturdy, durable, strong, corrosion-resistant, stable, and flexible material ideal for interior and external platform manufacturing.
6. Fibreglass Doors
Fibreglass doors can be used to replace metal doors because they are non-corrosive, do not dent, and save energy. They can withstand stressful and hazardous manufacturing conditions.
7. Glass Fibre Grating
Fibreglass is non-conductive and non-magnetic, making it ideal for use in manufacturing. Moulded fibreglass grating is resistant to impact and provides excellent traction.
8. Furniture Made of Fibreglass
Fibreglass is used to make furniture because it is durable and has an appealing appearance and design. They are low-maintenance and can withstand constant traffic and stress. They are used in the manufacture of office and outdoor furniture.
9. Fibreglass Sink
Fibreglass sinks are stain-resistant, long-lasting, and durable. They appear to be neat and clean. They are simple to mount and install.
10. Auto Parts Made of Fibreglass
Several parts of a car’s body are made of fibreglass. They are suitable for the production of car parts because they can be moulded into a variety of shapes.
