Composition of fiberglass reinforced plastic

A material that levels up quality, security and durability.

Thermoplastic

Every ADD-A-STEP is made from an injection molding Engineering Thermoplastic containing 30% of fiberglass. The raw materials are sourced only from leading international suppliers who comply with international standards.

Different types of engineering polymers are used depending on the application. A color-coding system is utilized to ensure the appropriate ladder type is used in the correct application.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass reinforcement is used in different forms; mat, continuous strands and chopped strands. The combination of multiple of those are used depending on the manufacturing method and for fitting fabrication.

Fiberglass is used as a reinforcement in the matrix of the raw materials. Because of the fiberglass, the material has great mechanical strength and good dimensional accuracy across a wide temperature range.
