Why Use FRP To Build Animal Statues Rather than Stone?
Have you visited a museum or a zoological garden? Chances are that you will come across statues of animals as props to inform people of the type of animal present (in a zoo) and displayed (in a museum.) For long, these statues were made of stone or metal but times seem to have changed of late. Now, it is all about a new material called the FRP or Fiber Reinforced Plastics. The tensile material is much more resilient to elements like cold, wind, rain or sun besides being attractive to view and light to carry. The kind of shapes FRP can be moulded into is mindboggling. In fact, the material lends itself well to all kinds of shapes that an artist can visualise, which a stone or metal can never be able to replicate. What is meant by FRP? Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics is made by fusing fiberglass and resins through the process of heating. The main ingredients of FRP are glass shards and fiberglass. And it is the resin that binds the glass shards into a prope
