Uses of plastic Fibre

• Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) are composites used in almost every type of advanced fields

• engineering structure, with their usage ranging from aircraft, helicopters and spacecraft through to boats, ships and offshore platforms and to automobiles, sports goods, chemical processing equipment and civil infrastructure
