Vetro LD (Low Density) FRP Laminate

This GRP laminate has been created by adapting the VETROLITE technology to obtain a considerable reduction in weight and increased flatness, even for the smallest thicknesses (from 1.3 mm).

LD (low density) laminates offer a considerable reduction in weight and greater flatness whilst containing the same amount of glass fibre as a conventional GRP laminate. They are available in a wide range of RAL colours or even customised colours.
