Technical Specifications

Material Selection: MS, High-Quality FRP, and PU Coating

Our statues are built with premium materials to ensure structural integrity, environmental resilience, and aesthetic perfection, compliant with Indian standards.

Mild Steel (MS) Framework

Material Specifications: We use high-grade MS (IS 2062 Grade B), offering a yield strength of 250–350 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 400–550 MPa.
Structural Role: The MS framework forms a robust internal skeleton, designed as a lattice or truss system to distribute loads evenly. Hollow structural sections (HSS) or I-beams (4–12 mm thick) are selected based on load requirements per IS 800:2007.
Corrosion Protection: MS components are hot-dip galvanized (IS 4759, 80–100 microns zinc coating) and coated with a two-part epoxy primer and PU topcoat, tested for 1,000+ hours of salt spray resistance per IS 101.
Welding and Joints: Welds are executed by certified welders (per IS 816:1969) using MIG or TIG processes, with non-destructive testing (NDT) such as ultrasonic testing (IS 4260) to ensure joint integrity.

High-Quality FRP

Material Composition: Our FRP comprises E-glass or S-glass fibres (judicious blend of CSM/CFM/WR/G10 fibres recipe as per application) (tensile strength: 2,000–3,500 MPa) embedded in isophthalic or vinyl ester resins, offering superior resistance to UV, moisture, and chemical exposure per IS 11551.
Mechanical Properties: The FRP laminate achieves a tensile strength of 300–500 MPa, compressive strength of 200–300 MPa, and modulus of elasticity of 20–30 GPa, ensuring a lightweight yet rigid outer shell.
Layering and Thickness: Using hand lay-up or vacuum infusion, we create multi-layered FRP skins (4–10 mm thick) with fiber volume fractions of 40–60% for optimal strength-to-weight ratio per IS 14856.
Environmental Durability: The FRP is pre-treated to resist weathering (tested for 5,000+ hours per IS 14856) and serves as the substrate for the PU coating.

Polyurethane (PU) Coating for Weather Resistance and Aesthetics

Material Specifications: We apply a high-performance, two-component aliphatic polyurethane coating (e.g., Asian Paints or Berger), formulated for exceptional UV resistance, gloss retention, and durability per IS 164.
Weather Resistance: The PU coating withstands India's climatic extremes, including UV exposure (5,000+ hours per IS 14856), temperature fluctuations (0°C to 50°C), and humidity (up to 95% RH). It achieves salt spray resistance of 2,000+ hours (IS 101) and resists abrasion (<50 mg loss after 1,000 cycles per IS 13630).
Aesthetic Excellence: Available in high-gloss, semi-gloss, or matte finishes, the PU coating delivers vibrant, fade-resistant colors (customizable to IS 5 standards) with a surface hardness of 3H–4H (IS 13630).
Application Process: The PU coating is applied in controlled conditions using electrostatic or HVLP spray systems, with a dry film thickness (DFT) of 50–100 microns per IS 101.

Why Our FRP Quality is Paramount

Our Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a high-performance composite engineered for exceptional mechanical strength, environmental durability, and application-specific optimization. By combining advanced E-glass fiber reinforcements with premium vinyl ester or unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrices, and utilizing precision hand lay-up lamination, our FRP delivers superior tensile strength (300–500 MPa), corrosion resistance, and UV stability (5,000+ hours per IS 14856).
