FRP PULTRUDED FIBERGLASS
FLATSHEET
San Diego Plastics, Inc. fiberglass
pultruded flatsheet offers the same physical appearance as our structural line
of products, however the properties differ slightly.
The primary use for fiberglass flatsheet is to adhere a non-slip coating to the
surface and cover FRP grating panels and structural shapes. Other applications
include gusset plates; splice plates, FRP washers ranging from 1" diameter up to
47" diameter, and base plates.
