Impul Skirts and Rear Hybrid FRP
What is Hybrid FRP?
FRP stands for Fiber Reinforced Plastic, and that is simply what fiberglass is. Fiberglass is considered a plastic in the composites industry. However, there parts differ from conventional FRP aero parts because they use an undisclosed combination of special surface coats, resin, and fabric to give our parts the flexible properties it needs (MUCH LIGHTER). Conventional FRP aero parts are made with a gel coat surface, which is brittle and harder to sand (Something hard and brittle tends to crack easily). Hybrid FRP parts have a flexible black primer surface, exclusively formulate, which is easier to sand and adheres much better to other primers as well as paint. Gel coats do not adhere to paint very well, which is why paint tends to peel off if the part it is not prepped meticulously. Primer is used as the link to adhere the two.
