Our Glass Fibre Square Tubes are pultruded in a polyester matrix to BS EN 13706 specifications. The fibreglass layup is a combination of multi-layered cross-ply glass fibre fabrics, giving an enhanced across axis strength for all round excellent mechanical properties.
Glass Fibre Tubes offer numerous benefits including a lightweight construction and a high strength-to-weight ratio that ensures reliable performance even under heavy loads. Their versatility and ease of handling make them a practical, cost effective choice for a wide range of structural applications while their resistance to corrosion make them an ideal choice for use in demanding environments. They can be easily machined and cut to size, allowing for easy customization to meet the unique requirements of your project.
Offering high performance and durability combined with ease of handling and installation, Glass Fibre Tubes are an ideal solution for a wide range of applications. Please ask the Plastock team for more information on our products and how we can help you achieve your project goals.
