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-profile (vinyl ester) is suitable for support and connection locations requiring strength, corrosion resistance and insulation, such as platform edge beams, walkway guardrail frames, cable tray supports and structural components in chemical environments. Specific installation positions and accessories can be confirmed based on your project drawings. Please contact us for application advice.
Selection Guide
When selecting, first clarify the cross-section dimensions (A×B×T), single-piece length, load direction and service environment (corrosive media, temperature, UV exposure, etc.), then determine the model according to the specifications in the table above. If you provide the load conditions and installation method, we can assist in recommending a suitable cross-section and wall thickness.
Product Advantages
This profile is made of glass fiber reinforcement with resin as the matrix, formed by the pultrusion process. It features light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, rust-proofing, insulation and non-magnetic properties, and is easy to drill and cut for installation. Vinyl ester resin systems are typically used in applications with higher chemical resistance requirements; specific performance needs to be evaluated according to the working conditions.
Inquiry Guide
