1. Complete control of the production process, from raw materials to finished profiles
What sets BORFLEX apart is its end-to-end control of its value chain. BORFLEX selects its glass fibers, formulates its resins, and manufactures its profiles at its own facilities in France. This vertical integration ensures:
- The consistency and reproducibility of mechanical properties
- The ability to develop specific product lines (food, electrical, fire, chemical) using specialized resin formulations
- Commercial responsiveness: modifying a product line, creating a custom product, or adapting a color or finish
2. The mechanical performance of BORGLASS® profiles: measured data
BORGLASS® pultruded profiles offer outstanding mechanical performance:
| Mechanical properties | Approximate value |
| Longitudinal flexural modulus | 25 GPa (EN 13706) |
| Tensile strength (longitudinal) | 200–400 MPa (ASTM D638) |
| Longitudinal compression module | 20 GPa (ASTM D695) |
| Impact resistance | 190 kJ/m² (ASTM D256) |
| Density | 1.80–1.90 g/cm³ |
| Water absorption | 0.2–0.4% |
| Thermal conductivity coefficient | 0.3 W/m·K |
| Surface resistivity | 10¹² ohms — electrical insulator |
These values are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute a commitment on the part of BORFLEX Composites. They vary depending on the specific BORGLASS® product line. For any structurally critical application, contact BORFLEX Composites for validation using batch data.
3. Addressing Market Challenges: Pultruded Composites Put to the Test
a) Rail, defense, nuclear: sustainability
The rail, defense, and nuclear sectors are subject to some of the strictest regulatory requirements in the world. BORGLASS® 4000 Series profiles (fire-resistant) meet these specifications.
b) Chemical, petrochemical, and offshore industries: chemical resistance and corrosive environments
In harsh chemical environments (acids, bases, solvents, hydrocarbons) or marine environments (salt spray, intermittent immersion), BORGLASS® 5000 Series profiles (chemical resistance) are the ideal long-term replacement for metal structures:
- Zero corrosion in saline environments — ideal for offshore platforms, water treatment plants, docks, and marine jetties
- Smooth, non-porous surface: easy to clean, hygienic
- Reduced weight, making maintenance work at heights or in hard-to-reach areas easier
c) Energy, wind power, solar power: lightweight and electrically neutral
Energy production infrastructure, particularly wind farms (onshore and offshore) and solar power plants, requires lightweight, non-conductive maintenance equipment that can withstand extreme outdoor conditions:
- Ladders, platforms, and access walkways: up to 70% lighter than aluminum, reducing technician fatigue and risks during work at height
- Natural electrical insulation: no risk of short circuits or accidental electric shocks
- Resistance to UV exposure and seasonal temperature cycles without any deterioration in mechanical properties
d) Food and pharmaceutical industries: hygiene and regulatory compliance
Food and pharmaceutical production environments require strict hygiene standards and intensive cleaning cycles using harsh chemicals:
- Smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to disinfect—without the risk of rust or buildup associated with metal structures
- Lightweight design that allows for easy reconfiguration of layouts (technical furniture, supports, secondary framing)
- Greater durability than metal structures subjected to repeated exposure to cleaning products
e) Construction, architecture, and infrastructure: thermal break and design flexibility
In the construction industry, BORGLASS® profiles offer practical solutions to three major current challenges: thermal performance, durability, and aesthetics:
- Thermal break: a key advantage for secondary facade frameworks and window and door frames
- Design flexibility: option to apply a surface finish (wood grain, stone texture, logo integration), user-applied paint, wide range of colors
- Lightweight design that makes installation at height easier and reduces the load on existing structures
- Weather, UV, and moisture resistance without additional protection
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
The BORFLEX Group has more than 375 employees and serves customers in over 30 countries. Its composites division draws on 65 years of expertise in engineering materials to ensure consistent quality and reliable technical support.
