Why FRP?
Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) (also called fibre-reinforced polymer/) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass (in fibreglass), carbon (in carbon fibre reinforced polymer). FRP is composed of four layers — a plywood core, woven fibreglass roving, white pigment resin, and gel coat — that are formed together under intense heat and pressure. This makes FRP a sturdier and more durable than Aluminium. The first use of glass fibre reinforced polyester composites was in the aircraft industry during the 1940s. Amongst all the available FRP Ladders in the market, Youngman FRP Ladders are exclusive. It is made up of 7 layers of Glass & Resin embedded into each other to make a strong composite with extreme mechanical properties.
