ABOUT NABAK COMPOSITE

Nabak Composite manufactures pultruded FRP/GRP profiles using current composite-material technology, including channels, angles, I-beams, composite sheets and flat strips. These products provide a dependable alternative to metal and aluminum strips in environments where corrosion, moisture, aggressive chemicals and electrical-insulation requirements sharply reduce the life and performance of metallic components.

The production line is designed to deliver a lightweight, insulating and durable substitute for steel strip in projects where component weight, electrical safety and corrosion resistance are critical. Typical uses include electrical equipment and switchboards, cable-tray supports, lightweight industrial structures and installations where metal corrosion or conductivity increases safety risk and maintenance cost. Glass-fiber content, resin cure and section dimensions are controlled throughout production.

"A strip that never rusts, never conducts."

In many industrial and electrical projects, corrosion and electrical conductivity in metal strip increase long-term maintenance costs and safety risks. By manufacturing composite flat strip, Nabak Composite removes these fundamental sources of cost and hazard from the project life cycle.

WHY COMPOSITE FLAT STRIP?

Moisture and chemical corrosion, unwanted electrical conductivity near energized installations, and high handling and installation weight are three common challenges of steel and aluminum strips. FRP/GRP composite strip eliminates these risk mechanisms and is engineered for applications where electrical safety, long service life and reduced maintenance cost are essential.

NBK-STRIP-1405 / 02-MATERIAL

WHAT IS FRP/GRP FLAT STRIP?

Composite flat strip is made from thousands of continuous glass-fiber strands embedded in a thermoset resin matrix and pulled into a uniform flat section. Its simple geometry provides consistent material distribution across the width and thickness, giving reliable behavior under tensile and light flexural loads. Electrical insulation and complete corrosion resistance further distinguish it from comparable metal strip.

* Values are typical for FRP composite flat-strip material based on widely used international test practices, including ASTM D638 and ISO 14125, and consistent Nabak Composite production. Allowable load and section selection must be determined by the project design engineer.

NBK-STRIP-1405 / 02-PROCESS

PULTRUSION MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND RAW MATERIALS

Nabak Composite flat strip is manufactured by pultrusion, a continuous process in which resin-saturated glass fibers are pulled through a heated steel die with an accurate flat-section geometry, then cured and drawn continuously. The process provides consistent dimensions and stable mechanical quality along the full profile length.

* This is a summary of the Nabak Composite pultrusion process. A size- and order-specific technical datasheet is available from the engineering department.

Selection must consider environmental exposure, electrical-safety requirements and the project's life-cycle cost horizon. The table compares the principal performance indicators.

* Values are typical ranges reported in industry references for FRP profiles and common metals and may vary with resin and reinforcement grade.

COMPLETE DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT TABLE - F7 TO F100 COMPOSITE FLAT STRIP

The full Nabak Composite production range with accurate mass per linear meter for rapid order-tonnage estimates and project logistics planning.

Table guide: A = strip width; T = strip thickness. The 12 m piece weight is calculated using the minimum orderable length.

• Small components, spacers and compact electrical-insulation parts
• Cable-tray supports, lightweight framing and switchboard components
• Light-to-medium structures, bracing and industrial connections
• Highest load capacity within the product family for more demanding industrial applications

* The table lists standard Nabak Composite flat-strip dimensions and weights. Final size selection must be based on design loads and project use by the design engineer; exact order data will be stated in the official pro forma invoice.

* FRP/GRP profiles cannot be welded. Connections must use bolts, connection plates or structural adhesives.

NBK-STRIP-1405 / 04-ORDERING

ORDERING, CUTTING AND DELIVERY GUIDE

• Orders are cut and supplied to the customer's technical requirements and requested length. The minimum orderable length is 12 meters.
• Where stock is available, estimated delivery is approximately five working days.
• If the requested size is not in stock, it enters a new production cycle. The minimum production quantity is 200 linear meters. The exact lead time is stated transparently in the pro forma invoice according to production capacity.
• Final pricing requires a complete specification inquiry. After cut lengths and quantities are confirmed, the final rate is stated in the pro forma invoice.
• Higher-volume orders that can be scheduled into the production cycle are eligible for graduated discounts and special rate adjustments.
• Payment terms, shipping method and final delivery location are stated separately in each pro forma invoice. Depending on destination, full-truck, cargo-bus or nationwide freight-company delivery is available.

* These ordering and delivery terms summarize Nabak Composite's standard sales procedure and do not replace the official pro forma invoice. Final figures and conditions are valid only as stated in that document.

NBK-STRIP-1405 / 04-COLOR-PRICE

COLORS, SURFACE FINISHES AND PRICING NOTES

For orders supplied from inventory, the final color is confirmed according to available stock in the pro forma invoice; typical stock colors are yellow, grey and white. New production orders may select yellow, grey, white or black. Other custom colors are available for sufficiently large production quantities.

Integral pigments are mixed directly into the resin during production, so color extends into the section and remains stable against superficial scratching. Project-specific surface coatings are formulated for composite substrates and provide strong adhesion, improved appearance and additional sunlight resistance.

• Dimensions and weights provide a preliminary basis for order-tonnage estimation and do not constitute a final price. Final rates are issued after cut lengths and quantities are confirmed.
• Production-scale orders and larger quantities are eligible for rate adjustments and graduated discounts.

* These color and pricing terms summarize Nabak Composite's standard sales procedure and do not replace an official pro forma invoice.

LIFE-CYCLE COST OF METAL STRIP IN CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS AND A PRACTICAL COMPOSITE-SELECTION GUIDE

In industrial and electrical projects located in humid regions or process units with chemical contaminants, the real cost of a metal strip extends far beyond its purchase price. Periodic painting, electrical-safety risk near energized equipment and premature replacement are hidden costs often omitted from initial calculations. Composite strip eliminates corrosion and conductivity from the project life cycle. Although its initial price per meter may exceed basic steel, its total cost of ownership over a 15- to 25-year horizon can be substantially lower.

CONCLUSION: Where corrosion, electrical safety or long-term maintenance matters, FRP/GRP composite strip improves component safety and durability while significantly reducing project life-cycle cost.
