Abstract

The use of fibre reinforced composites in the construction industry is well established. However, if the proper technology is capable of handling all situations from a mechanical/architectural point of view, it is recognised that the fire hazard required a critical survey to be made of the use of polymer materials. The selection is quickly made today and only retains special engineering thermoplastics and phenolic thermosets. The latter, obviously much cheaper, suffered long from bad opinions due to their brittleness and ugly appearance. Different achievements support the opinion that some phenoli-based glass fibre reinforced plastics lend themselves both, technically and economically, to sound applications in the construction industry.
