APPLICATIONS
GRP light architecture
GRP tent poles

RBJ fibreglass tubes are pultruded with a high volume fraction of fibreglass in a polyester matrix to BS EN 13706 specifications.

We manufacture a wide range of unidirectional GRP tubes from 4mm up to 25mm in diameter.  Unidirectional fibreglass tubes have a smooth surface finish and are designed to give ultimate resistance to bending.  For GRP tubes 22mm or greater in diameter the fibreglass layup is a combination of multi-layered cross-ply fabrics, giving greater hoop strength that is resistant to bending and torsional forces.

GRP tubes are typically stocked in 5 metre lengths.  Unidirectional small GRP tubes are available in white or black.  Larger cross-directional GRP tubes are typically grey or white, other colours are available upon request.*

Optional matrices in vinyl ester and acrylic are also available upon request.*

As a UK manufacturer and pultrusion company we are able to tailor production and adapt to individual customer requirements.  Please call us to discuss.

*Minimum order required.
