Greenlogy TEC

  FRP pultruded profiles use glass fiber reinforcement as the base material, resin as the binder, and glass fiber cloth as the covering reinforcement layer. After full impregnation, they are heated, formed, and cured in a metal mold and pulled by a pulling machine to form a new type of composite material with good physical properties, widely used in high-strength and long-span applications.

Application scenarios

Vinyl U-shaped square-tube handrail profiles are suitable for railing and handrail systems on bridge walkways, plant platforms, and in corrosive environments such as chemical and offshore facilities, and can replace conventional metal profiles. Their surface is weather-resistant and maintenance-free, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use. Contact us with your project environment and installation method so we can recommend a suitable solution.

Selection Guide

When selecting, please consider the handrail span, load requirements and installation nodes to determine the profile cross-section dimensions and wall thickness, and check compatibility with existing railing posts and connectors. Different cross-sections and wall thicknesses correspond to different weights and mechanical performance; please refer to actual requirements for specific parameters. You are welcome to contact us for detailed specifications and quotations; our technical staff can assist in confirming the selection.

Product Advantages

This profile is pultruded from glass fiber reinforced material and resin, featuring light weight and high strength, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation and non-conductivity, and maintenance-free operation, with a long service life in humid, salt-spray and chemical media environments. The surface can be colored, and the appearance is close to metal but requires no frequent anti-corrosion treatment. You are welcome to contact us to learn about material properties and applicable working conditions.

Inquiry Guidance

For business information such as dimensions, color options, packaging methods and bulk supply, you are welcome to contact us for detailed specifications and quotations. We will provide corresponding suggestions based on your drawings or operating conditions. Please provide the required cross-section, length and quantity so that we can respond quickly.

Custom Cutting

Need panels that fit, or cut to shape? We custom cut FRP grating and profiles to your drawing: panels cut to size or to shape (corner cuts, cutouts), cut edges sealed with resin, and pre-cut and pre-drilled to drawing before shipping. See the custom cutting services.
