Basic Properties of FRP Enclosures
Vynckier "FRP" (Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester) Enclosures are made from a "hot compression molded" fiberglass reinforced polyester. FRP is a complex composite material consisting of a polyester resin base with organic fillers, intended to facilitate flow, and to obtain special physical

Thermoset Composites
networks in the cured part. The early high-performance thermoset-matrix materials were called advanced composites, differentiating them from the glass/polyester composites that were emerging commercially in the 1950s. The "advanced" term has come to denote, to most engineers, a resin-matrix material

Shielding
of silver ink printed on 5-mil-thick polyester. After printing, a curing process removes nonconductive solvents. The result is a homogeneous shield that does not crack or delaminate when bent. The shield can be mechanically fastened and grounded with solder tabs. The cost is about the same

Stiff Competition
in the stomachs of even the most seasoned designers. That's because there are thousands of thermoplastic composites available. So it's important to take a systematic and logical approach when choosing a composite. There are five fundamentals that are key: Resin morphology, cost comparison, temperature

Coated Basics
the abrasive type, backing, bond, and any special features and/or tradenames. An example would be: Premier Red Aluminum Oxide Dri-Lube Resin Paper Open. The technical markings identify the actual components which make up the product. Technical markings consist of up to 10 parts. An example would be: P400

Powder Chemistries
are comparing apples to apples and check the specifications of the technologies offered. A super-durable polyester powder requires a special polyester resin and must meet AAMA 2604-05 (5-year Florida weathering specification). The mechanical properties of these coatings are a little lower than those
