EXTREN® is the result of decades of experience in manufacture, design, and fabrication. EXTREN® offers the following advantages:
- Corrosion Resistance - Superior resistance to a broad range of chemicals. Unaffected by moisture or immersion in water when sealed. Will not rust like metal and will not rot like wood.
- High Strength-to-Weight - Pound-for-pound, EXTREN® pultruded fiberglass structural shapes are stronger than steel in lengthwise direction. Strongwell FRP weighs up to 75% less than steel and 30% less than aluminum - ideal when maximum performance is required but every pound counts.
- Easy Installation - Can be field fabricated using simple carpenter tools and is easily lifted into place during installation with less equipment or specialized labor vs. steel.
- Cost Effective - Because installation of Strongwell FRP is much simpler and quicker than steel, structures built using Strongwell's pultruded products can cost as much as 15% less than carbon steel, 30% less than galvanized steel, and as much as 50% less than stainless steel.
- Virtually Maintenance Free - Will not permanently deform under impact. Corrosion resistance eliminates need for constant painting and upkeep. Provides long-term, cost effective solutions with lower life cycle costs.
- Durability & Weatherability - Resists impact, non-denting and hard to break. Pigmented resin, surfacing veil, and UV-Inhibitors prevent moisture
absorption, warping, fiber bloom, and delays fading.
