Light pole，initially made of wood, were easily rotten and damaged in the various of weather circumstances; later made of steel, with complicated production process, easily got rusty. Based on the development of modern technology and sophisticated process of FRP composite, FRP has been applied to the production of light poles. FRP product has extraordinary mechanical performance. Its strength is same as the steel but with so good flexibility that it can resist very strong wind. FRP light poles has been used for 50 years in western modern countries and it shows following several advantages:
- Resistance of electrical current conducting.
FRP light poles, made from fiberglass and resin, have good properties of resisting electrical current. Light poles are often exposed in the rain and thunder weather condition. By wood or steel materials, they are easily bring the electrical on them and get damaged. With fiberglass materials, it is no need to worry about this.
- Anti-rotten, Anti-aged, low cost of maintenance
Light poles always are used in the circumstances, such as in the sea, in the chemical industrial zone and in dessert soil and so on.FRP can resist both the alkali and acid, which makes it can serve more years.
- Low weight, easy for transport and installation.
For same size light pole, FRP pole is only 1 fourth of weight of steel rods. For installation, it is unnecessary to have a big tow or pull truck or appliance.
