Application:
Genius© pultruded fiberglass structural shapes from Genius Composite Inc. are used in a wide range of applications and provide a unique combination of corrosion resistance, high strength, dimensional stability and light weight, along with thermal and electric non-conductivity. Durable Genius shapes provide years of low maintenance service in areas where steel, aluminum or wood components are traditionally specified. Today ,these shapes are often used in highly corrosive applications where stainless steel and other expensive components were once required.

Application Scenarios
Y-shaped steel (orthophthalic) is commonly used in load-bearing and connection parts requiring strength and span, such as platform supports, frame joints, handrail frameworks, and structural components in corrosive environments such as chemical and water treatment. Its orthophthalic resin system is suitable for general anti-corrosion and outdoor use. For specific application suitability, please contact us for confirmation.
Selection Guide
When selecting, first confirm the load form, connection method, and installation space, then match the A*B*T cross-section dimensions and unit weight to the existing structural design. Similar specifications in the table can be substituted on the principle of equal strength or equal stiffness. Because working conditions vary greatly, we recommend providing us with the load, span, and corrosion conditions so our technical staff can assist in recommending suitable specifications.
Product Advantages
This profile uses glass fiber reinforcement and a resin matrix, and is formed by molding and pultrusion. It has the typical characteristics of composite materials such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, insulation, and non-magnetic properties. It is suitable for replacing some metal profiles to reduce self-weight and lower maintenance frequency. The surface can maintain good appearance consistency and is easy to cut and drill.
