Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites are being promoted as the materials of 21st century because of their superior corrosion resistance, excellent thermo-mechanical properties, and high strength-to-weight ratio. Out of those, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite materials are replaced by many traditional engineering materials owing to their outstanding material properties. According to the application or need sophisticated fabrications of composites has increased enormously. This increase in the development of such materials will become more economical and reliable when manufacturing process is more efficient and durable. Here we used continuous Glass fiber of 430 GSM (Grams per Square Meter) as the reinforcement material and Epofine 230 (CY230) a class of Epoxy polymer as the matrix material. This paper discusses about the fabrication of continuous (uni-directional) SIKA E-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymeric (GFRP) composites using Vacuum Bag moulding process.
