FRP MOULD

FRP Mould Description

FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) Moulds are precision-formed tools used for shaping composite materials, concrete, or other construction and industrial products. These moulds are made from a composite material consisting of a polymer matrix (usually thermosetting resins like polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy) reinforced with fibres, typically glass fibres.

Key Features of FRP Moulds:

• Material: Fibre-reinforced plastic (usually Glass Fibre + Resin)

• Durability: High resistance to wear, corrosion, and chemical attacks

• Surface Finish: Smooth surface ensures excellent finish on casted products

• Weight: Lightweight compared to steel or wooden moulds

• Customization: Can be made in complex shapes and detailed designs

• Cost-effective: Longer life and reusable, reducing long-term costs

Applications of FRP Moulds:

• Construction: Columns, cornices, GFRC panels, concrete forms

• Architecture: Decorative facades, domes, and interior elements

• Automotive: Moulds for parts like bumpers, panels, and dashboards

• Marine & Aerospace: Boat hulls, aircraft components

• Sanitary Ware: Bathtubs, sinks, and shower trays

Advantages:

• Non-corrosive and weather-resistant

• Easy handling due to light weight

• Highly precise and reproducible shapes

• Low maintenance

• Excellent thermal and dimensional stability

Types of FRP Moulds:

1. Open Moulds Used for hand lay-up or spray-up processes

2. Closed Moulds Used in compression or resin transfer moulding

3. RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) Moulds High precision for complex components
