More about
GRP profiles
Since 1978, krafton® has developed a wide range of high-quality plastic and GRP profiles. With an excellent team of experts, GRP profiles are manufactured in the production halls in Heijningen using pultrusion technology, or profile drawing.
High quality
The high-quality raw materials and top-quality moulds ensure that GRP profiles have high chemical resistance and optimal shape stability. krafton GRP profiles are characterised by excellent and consistent quality, which has been rewarded with many approvals, certifications and assessments, including EBA, DIBt and TÜV. In the quality section you will find all information on certifications and our test programme.
European Standard, DIBt and EBA
Our GRP profiles are tested in accordance with European standard NEN-EN 13706. This standard defines the minimum quality to be delivered and specifies the technical properties and calculation values for two quality categories: the E23 series with a bending modulus of 23 Gpa and the E17 series with a bending modulus of 17 Gpa. The profiles in the krafton® programme comply with the E23 class. This certification gives you and us the assurance of safe and durable performance of our GRP profiles in the various applications.
On top of the European standard, our profiles have EBA and DIBt approval, a grade higher in terms of product quality.
krafton® GRP profiles range
Many years of research and development have resulted in an extensive portfolio of GRP profiles, such as U-profiles, box sections and angle sections. We have many of these profiles in stock and, as standard, our profiles are produced in the colour grey.
