Benefits of GRP ducting
Choosing GRP ducting offers numerous advantages:
1. CORROSION RESISTANCE
GRP ducting is highly resistant to corrosion from chemicals and environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance.
2. LIGHTWEIGHT
Easier to handle and install compared to traditional materials, reducing labour costs and installation time.
3. HIGH STRENGTH
GRP ducting provides excellent structural integrity, capable of withstanding harsh industrial conditions.
4. LOW MAINTENANCE
Requires minimal maintenance, resulting in lower overall lifecycle costs.
5. THERMAL INSULATION
GRP has superior thermal insulation properties, making it suitable for applications involving temperature variations.
GRP vs. Other Materials of Construction
GRP vs Steel
While steel ducting is strong, it is prone to corrosion and requires regular maintenance and painting. GRP ducting offers superior corrosion resistance and requires minimal maintenance.
GRP vs PVC
PVC ducting is lightweight and corrosion-resistant but lacks the structural strength of GRP. Additionally, PVC can become brittle when exposed to certain chemicals, leading to potential failures in demanding environments. GRP ducting combines high strength and excellent corrosion resistance without the brittleness issues.
GRP vs Aluminium
Although aluminium ducting is lightweight and has good corrosion resistance, it is generally more expensive than GRP and lacks chemical resistance. Aluminium can degrade when exposed to certain chemicals, limiting its suitability for harsh environments.
GRP vs Other Plastics
Plastics like polypropylene are often used for ducting due to their chemical resistance and cost-effectiveness. However, these materials typically have lower mechanical strength and higher thermal expansion rates compared to GRP. They also tend to become brittle over time when exposed to chemicals, reducing their durability in demanding applications.
