Fiberglass I-beams, channels, angles, tubes, and more — corrosion-proof, non-conductive structural shapes for harsh and energized environments. Made in the USA.
The problem with structural steel
- Corrodes outdoors, coastal, and in chemical and washdown areas.
- Conducts electricity — a hazard around energized equipment.
- Heavy — cranes, more crew, longer installs and outages.
The Crimar FRP solution
- Non-conductive & RF-transparent — safe around live equipment.
- Corrosion-proof — chlorides, acids, alkalis, and H2S.
- ~1/4 the weight of steel — faster, safer installs.
- Full range of shapes — angle, channel, I-beam, tube, rod, and custom.
- Engineered strength — designed to ASTM and EN 13706.
What we supply
- Angle, channel, I-beam & wide-flange, square/rectangular tube, round tube, flat bar, solid rod
- Custom pultruded profiles to your drawing — multi-cell and hollow sections
- Polyester, vinyl-ester, and fire-retardant (FR) resin systems

Lower total cost of ownership
| Over 25 years (illustrative) | Steel / metal | Crimar FRP |
|---|---|---|
| Repaint / re-galvanize | Recurring | None |
| Replacement (corrosion) | Repeated | Installs once |
| Conductivity | Conductive (hazard) | Non-conductive |
| Lifetime cost | Higher | Lower |
One avoided corrosion failure, shock incident, or unplanned outage can outweigh the entire material premium. You are not just buying a product — you are eliminating a failure mode.
Why Crimar Composites

Frequently Asked Questions
Are FRP profiles electrically conductive?
No — pultruded FRP is non-conductive and RF-transparent, so it is specified around energized equipment and instrumentation.
What shapes and sizes are available?
Angle, channel, I-beam and wide-flange, square/rectangular and round tube, flat bar, solid rod, and custom sections. See the full shape line for size ranges.
What standards do they meet?
Properties and tolerances follow ASTM (D3917, D638, D790, E84) and the EN 13706 (E17/E23) structural grades; design per the ASCE FRP pre-standard.
Can you make custom profiles?
Yes — we tool and pultrude custom cross-sections, including multi-cell and hollow structural sections, to your drawing.
