Threaded rods made of GRP material - lightweight, insulating, robust
Threaded rods made of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GRP) offer a wide range of uses in industrial applications, especially where electrical insulation of screw connections is required. They are ideal for use in induction fields, as they reliably insulate against electrical currents and at the same time offer high mechanical stability.
In addition, GRP threaded rods offer thermal insulation, which prevents thermal bridges in screw connections. Compared to conventional steel threaded rods, they are also significantly lighter, which makes them easier to handle and reduces construction weights in machines and systems.
