Fiberglass is widely used in a variety of shell manufacturing due to its light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy forming. The following are some common types of Fiberglass shell and their application scenarios:
1. Vehicle shell
Auto parts:
Body panels, bumpers, hoods (especially racing cars and modified cars).
Roof covers and fairings of buses and trucks.
Ships and yachts:
Hulls, deck hatches, radar covers (resistant to seawater corrosion).
Rail transit:
Head covers and vent shells of high-speed rail and subway (lightweight requirements).
2. Industrial equipment shell
Electrical equipment:
Distribution boxes, transformer shells (insulation, anti-electromagnetic interference).
Cable trays, motor protection covers.
Environmental protection equipment:
Sewage treatment pool covers, ventilation ducts, exhaust gas treatment equipment shells (acid and alkali resistant).
Mechanical equipment:
Fan blades, pump shells (wear-resistant and impact-resistant).
3. Building and public facility shells
Architectural decoration:
Antique building components, sculptures, exterior wall decorative panels (easy to shape, weather-resistant).
Public facilities:
Phone booths, billboards, trash cans, seats (rust-proof, durable).
Roof structure:
Dome, skylight (translucent fiberglass).
4. Energy and communications
Wind power generation:
Wind turbine nacelle, guide cover (lightweight, wind erosion resistance).
Communication equipment:
Radar antenna cover, 5G base station shell (good wave transmission).
Solar equipment:
Solar panel bracket, junction box shell.
5. Military and aerospace
Military equipment:
Armored vehicle parts, missile launch tubes (high-strength composite materials).
Spacecraft:
Satellite antenna cover, drone shell (lightweight, extreme temperature resistance).
6. Consumer goods and leisure products
Sports equipment:
Motorcycle helmets, surfboards, snowboards (lightweight and impact-resistant).
Musical instrument housing:
Electronic piano, audio equipment housing (acoustic performance adjustment).
Outdoor products:
Camping RV housing, portable toilet.
Advantages of FRP housing
Corrosion resistance: suitable for harsh environments such as chemical and marine.
Flexible design: complex curved surfaces can be molded and customized colors/textures can be used.
Insulation and heat insulation: suitable for electrical and high temperature environments.
Cost-effectiveness: lighter than metal, reducing transportation and installation costs.
Precautions
Long-term UV exposure may cause aging (surface coating treatment is required).
Compared with metal, it has lower rigidity and may deform at high temperatures (requires enhanced design).
The selection of FRP shell needs to be optimized according to the performance requirements of specific application scenarios (such as strength, temperature resistance, and weather resistance).
