The relative density is between 1.5 and 2.0, which is only 1/4 to 1/5 of carbon steel. However, the tensile strength is close to or even exceeds carbon steel, and the specific strength can be compared with high-grade alloy steel. Therefore, it has excellent results in aviation, rockets, spacecraft, high-pressure vessels and other products that need to reduce their own weight. The tensile, bending and compressive strength of some epoxy FRP can reach more than 400Mpa.
