FRP rods GRP rods and water blocking tapes supplier in USA Vigor Composites

Fibre Reinforced Plastic Rod
FRP Rod / GFRP

Our FRP Rod are produced from Quality Glass Fibre with an Epoxy Resin. It is used as a Central Strength member or used in Embedding during Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing. EAA coated FRP provide stronger adhesion to cable jacketing material.

  • Higher tensile strength, High modulus, high flexibility
  • Increase cable protection.
  • Free from chemical corrosion.
  • Low expansion, low weight, Low heat conductivity, cost effective

Water Blocking (FRP ROD)

Water Blocking FRP materials are used in order to immobilize the product and assure the right cushioning, covers all voids in the cable core at the block and prevents flow of water towards the joints. FRP is used for any type of cable specially designed against water ingress, offering protection beyond the water-resistant property of cable jacket.

Flat FRP GRP products for fiber optic cable and industrial applications

Flat FRP

Flat FRP are manufactured to serve as dielectric armour in FOC intended for challenging environments. This are used for various cable types, including rodent resistant, direct burial, and bullet resistant aerial cables. Flat rods provide peripheral reinforcement in FOC application and can be embedded in the cable’s jacket longitudinally or helically stranded over the core depending on specific design and requirements of the cables.

  • Anti-rodent resistant
  • Helical application
  • Excellent tensile strength
  • Customised dimensions

Water Blocking Tape (WBT)

Water blocking tapes rapidly absorb liquid at the point of insulation failure & quickly swell to block any further ingress.

  • Excellent gel strength.
  • Excellent swell height.
  • Stable over long period.
