  1. Pultruded Fiberglass Components

  2. About Us • Established in 1976, Mihir Engineers Limited today is one of the largest manufacturers of FRP and RCC Cooling Towers with over 27,000 installations in India & abroad • It gives us immense pride in introducing our new group company “Stronglite Composites”. Stronglite Composites specializes in range of PULTRUDED FRP profiles. • Our Pultruded profiles are manufactured at a state of the art Pultrusion Manufacturing Facility equipped with a state of the art Material Testing Facility at Rajpur in Gujarat giving us complete control over Design, Manufacturing and Quality Control for these components. • All our profiles are tested and certified to possess mechanical properties comparable to steel by the Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Madras

  3. Pultrusion Process • Pultrusion is a continuous process for manufacture of composite materials with constant cross-section • The unique advantages possible with FRP have enabled pultruded profiles to penetrate markets where other materials could not meet the design or end use requirements efficiently

  6. Product Advantages • Corrosion Resistance • FRP structural products are corrosion resistant to a broad range of chemicals. In many structural applications where wood rots and metals corrode, pultruded FRP products will last indefinitely with little or no maintenance. • Strength • Stronglite's pultruded structural shapes have a high strength-to-weight ratio and pound for pound are stronger than steel in the lengthwise direction. • Weight • FRP materials are light weight. Generally on an equal volume basis, pultruded fiberglass will weigh only 25% of the weight of steel and 70% of the weight of aluminum. This feature can significantly impact installation costs, reduce the risk for injury and result in less structural support from foundations or supporting structures

  7. Product Advantages • Electrical Conductivity • Fiberglass products are extremely low in electrical conductivity. Nonconductive products provide significant safety benefits in many applications such as those found in electrical substations products and power poles • Thermal Conductivity • Fiberglass products are low in thermal conductivity and FRP products do not expand or contract like metals. This feature can provide a significant degree of thermal insulation • Ease of Fabrication • FRP can be field fabricated using simple carpenter tools with carbide or diamond tip blades; no torches or welding is required. Fiberglass materials are also lightweight, resulting in easier erection and installation.

  8. Various Products & Markets • Pultruded Fiberglass Profiles can be used in various applications: • Structural Applications – Cooling Towers, Work Platforms, Structural Beams, Scaffolding • Electrical Applications – Utility Poles, Cross Arms • Access Systems – Ladders, Staircases & Related Structures • Gratings - Walkways, Maint. & Operator’s Platforms, Machine Decks, Floors, Pallets, Covers (for Tanks, Gutters & Trenches etc.) • Cable Trays Systems - Perforated & Ladder Type with all accessories

  9. Fiberglass Pultruded Grating • FRP Grating made out of pultruded section is an ideal solution for the corrosion problems faced in Industrial environments • It is an ideal replacement for steel or aluminum gratings used in highly corrosive atmosphere • FRP Grating often outlasts steel 20 to 1 times and it is a long term investment, where frequent grating and walkways replacement cost are unacceptable

  10. Mechanical Properties of Fiberglass Pultruded Gratings • Pultruded Gratings are manufactured by assembly of Pultruded I Beams (Load Bearing members) & Pultruded Cross Rods (Cross Locking members) • The distance between the I Beams is 40 mm, whereas the distance between the Cross Rod varies as per the Load requirement of the application.

  11. Cable Management System • FRP Cable Trays are of the highest quality, they are strong, chemical resistant, fire retardant, Have electric insulation and are UV protected.   • FRP Cable Trays are lightweight, cut to length and can be quickly installed.

  12. Handrails & Ladder Systems • FRP Handrail, Ladders and Access Systems offer long life, low maintenance solutions • Our Access Systems are lightweight and offer high resistance towards corrosion. Easy to fabricate, the installed cost of composite Handrails and Ladders is often lower than that of steel • Being a fiberglass reinforced composite, the handrails and ladders are thermally and electrically non conductive, offer excellent UV resistance and are extremely durable in extreme outdoor environments

  13. Fiberglass Crossarms • Fiberglass Crossarms are designed for the standard crossarm load capacity as specified by Bureau of Indian Standards IS 10192-1982 (Reaffirmed in2005) • Fiberglass Crossarms offer the following advantages • High Strength • Light Weight • Long Life • Easier to install • Excellent Electrical Properties

  14. Fiberglass Crossarms As Alternative to Steel Crossarms

  15. Cooling Tower Solutions • There is an increasing demand for the use of composites in cooling tower applications • We manufacture a complete range of composite products for use in Cooling Towers including
