FRP reinforced materials construction products assist "extreme climate " alleviation!

2025 is destined to be another extraordinary year. Due to the influence and blessing of “extreme climate", various disasters are constantly occurring around the world, constantly warning people to step up their response to "extreme climate".

From January 7th to 31st, Southern California experienced a powerful, dry storm known as the Santa Ana winds, sparking numerous wildfires. Fuelled by strong winds, the fires intensified, raging for 24 days. Agence France-Presse quoted Christina Dahl, vice president of science for the independent American organization Climate Headquarters, as saying that the rapid spread of wildfires is generally associated with factors such as high temperatures, drought, and high winds, with "temperature being the most obvious climate signal." At the time of the fires, temperatures in Los Angeles reached as high as 45°C, coupled with extremely high winds exceeding 80 kilometers per hour. The blazes destroyed at least 82.26 square kilometers of land, destroying 4,000 to 5,000 homes and the properties of numerous wealthy celebrities. The fires, regardless of class or wealth, destroyed everyone.

On July 1st, local time, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) released a report stating that large parts of Europe were experiencing widespread high temperatures, and this June could become one of the hottest on record in Europe! On June 30th, the French meteorological agency Météo-France issued an orange heatwave alert for all 84 provinces, with several provinces upgrading to a red alert on July 1st. In the capital, Paris, the heatwave has persisted for several days, with meteorological agencies predicting temperatures could approach 40°C on July 1st. Education authorities have ordered the partial or full closure of over 1,300 schools for the day. On the 9th, the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the EU's climate monitoring agency, released new data showing that June 2025 was the third warmest June on record globally, with an average surface temperature of 16.46°C, 0.47°C higher than the average June temperature between 1991 and 2020.

On July 1, 2025, local time, in Paris, France, a thermometer outside a pharmacy in the city center showed 44°C.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service, the European Union's climate monitoring agency, noted that both significant heat waves were associated with the "heat dome phenomenon." What is a "heat dome"? It's a phenomenon in which a high-pressure system traps hot air at the surface, causing temperatures to soar across regions. It's like a "pot lid" covering a hot region. This prevents normal convection and exchange of hot and cold air inside and outside the lid, exacerbating the high temperatures and leading to more severe "heat stress disasters."

Zhang Tao, chief forecaster at the China Meteorological Administration, explained that "heat dome" isn't a well-defined academic term; it's a general, figurative, and popular scientific term used by some forecasters abroad to describe the physical causes of high temperatures.

According to online data released by the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Climate Centre for Regional Association VI (Europe), more than two-thirds of Europe's extreme heat events since 1950 have occurred since 2000. The frequency and intensity of extreme heat events in Europe are also increasing. It is projected that by 2050, approximately half of Europe's population may be at risk of high or very high heat stress in summer, with Southern Europe being particularly affected. Risk levels in Eastern, Western, and Central Europe will also rise significantly. Data from 2025 shows that in Spain, 260 cases were confirmed to be directly related to heat stress in June alone.

Nanjing Sedray Industries Co., Ltd.， as a member of the earth, actively develops corporate innovation awareness, actively assumes corporate responsibility, continues to research and develop new materials and innovates, and produces a series of low-carbon, energy-saving and environmentally friendly FRP reinforced material products——Dragonbolt™ Composite Fasteners、Dragonbar™ FRP Reinforced System, Dragonpro™ Fiberglass Building Products (including：(1) standard structural profiles, (2) FRP handrail systems, (3) FRP decks & floors, (4) FRP gratings and accessories), Dragonstrut™ Fiberglass Framing System (fiberglass support system) , Dragonpower™ Cable Management System , deep integration broadens the linkage between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and applies it to transportation, energy, chemical industry, construction and other industrial fields, promoting the high-quality development of new productive forces and empowering related industries, and improving the prospects for sustainable development. The industry life cycle is extended and the carbon footprint is reduced.

Our company's low-carbon, energy-saving and environmentally friendly FRP reinforced material products mainly use a variety of high-performance reinforcing fibers, corrosion-resistant resins and necessary additives, and use pultrusion technology and special processing techniques to produce basic products, which are further used in later in-depth processing. High-end intelligent equipment undergoes in-depth processing to meet the specialized and special requirements of customers. Compared with traditional materials (steel, aluminum, stainless steel, plastic), it has very obvious advantages:

1.  Low Thermal Conductivity and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

The thermal conductivity of FRP products is 0.487 W/(m.k), approximately 1/100 that of metal (50-415 W/(m.k)). This significantly reduces heat absorption and deformation in the summer, significantly minimizing the impact of heat and reducing the risk of injuries.

2.   Low VOCs content 

Using new environmentally friendly materials, the content of volatile organic compounds is very low, which is friendly to the environment and people;

3.   Excellent Corrosion Resistance

FRP/GFRP products will never corrode, rust or lead to concrete spalling in the concrete structure;

4.   High Chemical Resistance

Wastewater treatment, water treatment and desalination plants exposed to chemicals, water or high salt content of the environment, FRP/GFRP products can be very good resistance to the corrosion of the harsh environment;

5.   Long Life Cycle

FRP products are very durable and have a service life of 50 to 100 years, thus greatly reducing the cost of subsequent maintenance and upgrades;

6.   Light Weight and High Strength

 The density of FRP reinforcement construction products is only 1/4 of that of metal materials. In modern times with high labor costs and oil prices, labor costs and transportation costs can be greatly reduced. At the same time, the frp rock bolts has strong thread load capacity, which can effectively substitute the use of metal rock bolts (slope support bolts);  

7.  Low Moisture Absorption

Unlike many plastics, the moisture absorption of FRP products is very low, even if it is soaked in water for a long time, there will be no obvious size change or mechanical property loss.
