What is GRE and GRP pipe?

GRE (Glass Reinforced Epoxy) and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) pipes are both composite pipes that are widely used in various industries due to their excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, strength and durability. Although they have some similarities, they are made of different resin materials and offer different advantages depending on the application.

GRE Pipe:

GRE pipe is mainly made of glass fiber and epoxy resin. It has high mechanical strength and stiffness, making it suitable for high pressure applications. It is highly corrosion resistant and is ideal for handling corrosive fluids and gases.

GRP Pipe:

GRP pipes are made of thermosetting resins (such as polyester, vinyl ester) and reinforced with glass fibers. Sometimes it is also called fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). It has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy installation and strong customizability.

Both GRE and GRP pipes are valuable solutions in the composite piping space, each with unique advantages suited to different applications. GRE pipes are ideal for demanding applications in the petroleum and chemical industries. GRP pipes are widely used in water treatment, industrial piping, marine environments, and infrastructure projects. We understand the differences between GRE and GRP pipes and can better select and utilize them in specific projects, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
