| PROPERTY | FRP Composite | Carbon Steel |
| CORROSION RESISTANCE |
Superior resistance to a range of a chemicals. FRP is unaffected by moisture or immersion in water. |
Subject to oxidation and corrosion. Steel requires painting and galvanizing for many applications. |
| IMPACT RESISTANCE | Glass fibers evenly distribute impact to prevent surface damage. FRP will not permanently deform under impact. |
Can permanently deform under impact. |
| STRENGTH | FRP is stronger than steel for the same weight to strength ratio. | Steel is weaker in weight to strength ratio than FRP. |
| WEIGHT | FRP is 1/4 the weight of steel. | 4 times heavier than FRP. |
| FINISHING AND COLOUR | There is a uniform colour throughout the product. FRP does not require painting or further maintenance. | Must be painted for colour. To maintain color and corrosion resistance, repainting will be required. |
| UV | FRP is UV and colour stabilised even under harsh environments. It will not fade or lose colour. | Steel needs to be treated periodically to maintain its exterior coating. |
| COST | Lower maintenance and longer product life equals lower costs in the long term. | High maintenance equals higher long term costs. |
