| FRP is an abbreviation of Fiber-Reinforced Plastic | | | | For general understanding, glass is very brittle and |
| which is mainly composed of two important parts | | | | not suitable for everything. Due to its limited |
| matrix (resin or plastic) and fiber that enhances that | | | | performance, it is not a preferable material for so |
| material. It can be better understood with the help of | | | | many activities. However, by adding fiber in it, this |
| an example; steel is often supplied with cement | | | | new material can be made really useful. Also, it will |

| same way, fiber is added to the resin to make it | | | | glass into glass fiber, a thorough process is followed. |
| more useful and applicable. | | | | In this process, the glass is melted and converting |
| Practically, a wide array of fibers has been added | | | | into a very thin post-tensioned wire as thin as the |

| most common varieties are known as glass fiber, | | | | really useful and can be twisted into any desired |
| carbon fiber, Fang Lun fiber, metal fibers, etc. Among | | | | shape. Also, its strength is measured better than |
