With the impending fears of climate change, many companies are looking for ways to do their part in helping to build a more sustainable and cleaner planet. SGS Frangible stands at the top position across industries and sectors to protect the environment by using pultruded products that includes fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites.

This is a miniature view of how we are helping to keep the environment clean and green by doing our bit. Zooming to the details –

1. Practicing an Environmental-Friendly manufacturing

– Primarily, the process of creating pultruded products at SGS Frangible is far safer than traditional methods keeping in mind the environment. For doing so, in manufacturing of the pultruded products, bundles of fiber are pulled through a liquid resin bath. Once the fiber rovings are impregnated with more resin, the product is then cast into the desired shape and further cured. Our FRP pultruded products manufacturing process also results in – less wasted materials, less use of energy and thereby less pollution. It can be clearly seen that our manufacturing process right from the beginning to end, generates very less waste. From our end, there are no piles of useless shavings for nature and environment to discard in a landfill.

– The massive loss of entire ecosystems that is used to produce wood products is another major issue responsible for climate change. This is where our FRP pultruded products can help cut down on deforestation. Although some may provide opinion that continuing manufacturing products using wood is not sustainable at a commercial level but we argue from some different perspective. The devastation that has been done to wildlife and natural habitats cannot be repaired by simply planting new trees as it will take generations for saplings to grow and in the modern age, the effects of deforestation have caused many endangered species extinct. Our FRP pultruded products not only reduce deforestation but they also have a longer lifespan which eradicates regular wear, tear and removal thereby do not cause any disturbance to the environment.

– Our manufacturing process relies on few significant factors that ensure its success. One of the most important factors is that our pultruded profiles are designed from composites which are naturally corrosion resistant which clearly indicates that they can withstand extreme weather conditions and wide temperature ranges which ultimately increases the lifespan of our products in comparison to products of other composite companies.

2. Following a Clean Pultrusion Process

– Talking about frangible towers and composite structures and leaving clean pultrusion behind is impossible thus our clean pultrusion process stands strongly. For creating FRP composites in order to reduce environmental burden, we use pre-impregnated tapes.

– Our FRP pultrusion manufacturing makes use of easily recycle products in the form of thermoplastics whereas in the crafting and manufacturing of other products like aluminum and steel, the materials which are used once cannot be reformed or recycled which further leads to majority of manufacturing waste. Keeping in mind the same, our FRP pultruded products ensures to have only a great impact on the environment by reducing the amount of waste pre; during and post production.

– Since, our pultruded products possess strong properties in terms of heat resistance, corrosion impact and moisture etc., they have typical life span of up to 15 years with almost little or no maintenance which is way beyond than any traditional material.

– SGS Frangible pultruded products are unique and strong because of its clean pultrusion process that’s why we are confident for our product range. Moreover, with longer lifespans, our FRP composites won’t be seen filling up landfills or leaching toxic chemicals into the ground.

3. Ethics of Recycling

– When it comes to environment conservation, recycling stands at the top just so we with our FRP pultruded products try best to preserve earth’s ecosystem at every step. Our little production waste is made ready for reuse by shredding the waste fiber in small equal strands. The strands are transferred to small statue casting manufactures who re-use these strands in their castings to increase the strength of their products.
