FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) hat profiles, also known as top-hat sections or furring channels, are U-shaped structural composite shapes with outward-projecting flanges resembling a top hat.
Key Features
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Extremely rigid yet lightweight, making them easy to handle and install.
Corrosion Resistance: Completely rust-proof and highly resistant to chemicals and saltwater.
Electrical and Thermal Insulation: Non-conductive material with high dielectric strength that prevents heat and current transfer.
Dimensional Stability: Resistant to warping, swelling, or degrading under stress or UV exposure.
Common Applications
Electrical Equipment: Used for structural support and coil winding assemblies in transformers, switchgear, and reactors.
Construction & Architecture: Applied as furring channels or thermal breaks for lining, leveling, and securing panels or insulation in walls and ceilings.
Enclosures: Acts as structural stiffeners for cable trays, racks, and protective equipment housings.
