UV RESISTANCE

New Zealand’s naturally high UV index presents undeniable challenges for the longevity and performance of construction materials. Traditional materials like steel and timber, while widely used, often fall short in these harsh conditions. The detrimental effects of UV radiation, including structural degradation, and increased maintenance requirements, cannot be ignored. The Impact of High UV Index […]

We discuss the significance of UV resistant FRP public infrastructure and its impact on longevity and safety.  Understanding the Role of FRP in Public Infrastructure Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) has become an essential material in the construction of public infrastructure. FRP offers various advantages over traditional construction materials, including high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and
