FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) skylight panels represent a type of composite material that has undergone rapid development over the past fifty years. Approximately 70% of the global output of glass fiber is utilized in the manufacture of FRP. FRP is characterized by its high hardness and is significantly lighter than steel. In jet aircraft, it is employed for fuel tanks and piping, thereby contributing to a reduction in the aircraft's overall weight. Even the miniature oxygen cylinders carried on the backs of astronauts who have walked on the moon are fabricated from FRP. Furthermore, FRP is easy to process; it is impervious to rust and decay, and requires no painting.
In my country, FRP has been widely adopted in the manufacture of various small motorboats, lifeboats, and yachts, as well as within the automotive industry, resulting in substantial savings of steel resources. As FRP is a composite material with a remarkably broad range of adaptable properties, its market development prospects are exceptionally promising. According to relevant statistical data, the variety of FRP products developed globally has reached approximately 40,000 different types. Although individual nations prioritize development directions based on their specific economic conditions, these efforts have, in essence, extended across virtually every industrial sector. Following more than forty years of development, my country's FRP industry has likewise achieved successful applications across various sectors of the national economy, playing a pivotal role in the country's economic construction.
