A brand-new catalog: more than 200 standard composite profile models available

BORFLEX COMPOSITES, a company of the BORFLEX Group, has been a recognized French specialist in the manufacture of technical fiberglass components for over 65 years. We are launching our BORGLASS® 2026 catalog, the first fully standardized catalog of pultruded fiberglass composite profiles, organized by performance range.

This catalog represents a major breakthrough in the industrial composites market. Until now, access to pultruded profiles had been primarily limited to custom designs, which involved significant lead times and tooling investments. With BORGLASS®, the BORFLEX Group offers a range of standard profiles available—either in stock or upon request—in a variety of shapes, dimensions, and resin types that are unprecedented in the French market.

Angle iron, square and rectangular tubing, U, I, H, and T-shaped sections, round bars, flat bars, cylindrical sections, half-round bars, omega sections, grating, ergonomic handrails, guardrails…: The product line covers all the shapes needed for the construction of industrial structures, infrastructure, safety equipment, and technical furniture.

Pultrusion: Exceptional expertise mastered by BORFLEX in France

What is fiberglass pultrusion?

Pultrusion is a continuous manufacturing process that produces composite profiles with a constant cross-section and mechanical properties that are perfectly uniform along their entire length. This technique is what gives BORGLASS® profiles their superior mechanical properties, comparable to the effect of reinforced concrete in terms of the combination of materials.

The process consists of several steps managed by BORFLEX:

  • Selection of raw materials: glass fibers and woven mats selected by BORFLEX for their quality and consistency
  • Resin Formulation: BORFLEX formulates and blends its resins in-house, ensuring a composition that is perfectly suited to each performance category (standard, food-grade, electrical, fire-resistant, chemical-resistant).
  • Mesh and weaving: The fibers are arranged according to a precise structure, which determines the directional properties of the profile
  • Drawing and impregnation: The fibers pass through a resin bath under controlled tension, ensuring complete and uniform impregnation
  • Passage through the heated die: The resin cures under heat and pressure in the die, which gives the profile its final shape
  • Cutting and quality control: Each profile is cut to standard lengths (usually 4 or 6 meters) and undergoes rigorous quality control.

This process ensures that the mechanical properties are perfectly consistent from one profile to the next, a critical factor for industries with strict specifications.

BORGLASS® vs. Traditional Materials: Switching from Metal to Composite

4 times lighter than steel — without compromising strength

One of the most immediately noticeable advantages of BORGLASS® profiles is their light weight. With a density of 1.80 to 1.90 g/cm³, pultruded composite profiles are nearly four times lighter than steel. This weight difference has tangible, quantifiable benefits throughout the product’s life cycle:

  • Transportation and Logistics: Reducing Freight Costs and Streamlining Handling Operations
  • On-site installation: fewer personnel required, no heavy equipment, easier installation in hard-to-reach areas (at height, in confined spaces, offshore)
  • Maintenance and Replacement: Simplified Procedures for Field Teams

Zero corrosion — maintenance-free durability

Unlike steel and aluminum, BORGLASS® pultruded composite profiles are inherently corrosion-resistant. There is no oxidation process in a fiberglass/thermoset resin material. This fundamental property eliminates costs associated with:

  • Anti-corrosion paint and its recoating cycles
  • Electrolytic Surface Treatment
  • Early replacement of worn-out parts
  • Production Shutdown for Preventive Maintenance

In marine, chemical, or high-humidity environments, this lack of corrosion represents a significant economic advantage over the total service life of equipment or infrastructure.

Resistance to harsh environments: UV, chemicals, extreme temperatures

BORGLASS® profiles are naturally resistant to UV radiation, weathering, abrasion, common chemicals, and operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C (and beyond, depending on the resin grade). They are inherently rot-proof and do not swell when exposed to moisture.

Electrical and Thermal Insulation

Unlike metals, BORGLASS® composite profiles are electrically insulating (surface resistivity:10¹² ohms) and have very low thermal conductivity (0.3 W/m·K). These properties make them particularly well-suited for electrical applications (ATEX environments, high-voltage/low-voltage switchgear) and for thermal break applications in construction.

The BORGLASS® Line

The 2026 BORGLASS® catalog is organized into six product lines, each defined by a specific resin formulation designed to address a particular industrial challenge. Each product line is available in all the shapes and sizes listed in the catalog.

Finishing and machining: from standard profiles to turnkey solutions

In addition to supplying standard profiles from its catalog, BORFLEX COMPOSITES offers a range of custom processing services that allow each standard product to be tailored to specific requirements:

Custom Machining

  • Cutting to length (straight cuts, angle cuts, miter cuts)
  • Drilling and milling
  • Grooving and chamfering
  • Machining of complex shapes

Finishing

  • Application of a surface finish: decorative effects (wood, stone, metallic), incorporation of logos or signage
  • Painting and applying surface finishes
  • Simple assembly: structural adhesive bonding, screwing, bolting—no welding or special equipment required
  • Splicing and assembly of subassemblies

These services enable BORFLEX to deliver ready-to-install subassemblies, reducing the amount of on-site assembly work required and speeding up installation times.

“Our customers don’t have to invest in specialized production lines to get a profile tailored to their project. They choose a standard item from our catalog, we provide the necessary finishing touches, and they receive a component ready for installation.”

100% French manufacturing: BORFLEX’s commitment to industrial sovereignty

All production of BORGLASS® pultruded composite profiles takes place at the Villers-Saint-Paul facility in the Hauts-de-France region. This location is not merely a marketing point; it is central to the BORFLEX Group’s industrial identity.

  • End-to-end control of the production process: resin formulation, fiber selection, pultrusion, and quality control—all carried out at a single integrated industrial site
  • Commercial responsiveness: Development of custom solutions, emergency management — no import delays
  • Carbon footprint: Local manufacturing and product durability (low maintenance, long service life) significantly reduce the environmental impact over the product’s entire lifecycle
