The Advantages and Uses of Reinforced Plastics Engineers thought they were onto a good thing when reinforced steel was first designed. The technological world, however, never stands still. As metal resources become scarce and companies look to satisfy other needs that steel cannot provide, things like reinforced plastics get invented and industries change once more. Among the advantages of plastic that has been reinforced with fiberglass is its lightness. Using fiberglass, structures made from this material are still incredibly strong, yet they are lighter than steel. Drop them or drop something on them and the impact makes no difference to its structural integrity. Another benefit is that reinforced plastics can virtually take any shape a person can imagine, and will be custom designed according to customer requirements.
