From the Arctic to the Tropics, under severe conditions and in climates around the world, time-tested Nuplaglas® continuous length fiberglass structural rod has supported communication towers and military antennas around the globe since the 1950's. Recognized as a leader in the field of glass reinforced structural plastic materials, the company produced Nuplaglas® to government specifications since the product was first recognized as a technical breakthrough. To this day, it is still the best available corrosion-resistant, non-conductive structural rod for utility and communications applications. Super strong epoxy coated Nuplaglas® structural rod uses the same patented pultrusion technology as Nuplaglas® handles in which millions of continuous parallel fiberglass strands are cured under tension in a thermosetting resin. The resulting rod is high in flexural and tensile strength with approximately 3-to-1 strength-to-weight advantage over steel strand cable. The rod has a high 'Q' dielectric factor that makes it an excellent insulator. Its non-conductive properties eliminate interference problems. Additional features of the rod include minimum elongation, low moisture absorption, and high weather resistance. Nuplaglas® structural rod is available in custom lengths and diameters from 1/4" to 1-1/16" with factory installed end fittings. The open or closed fittings have passed the most rigorous tests to meet the most demanding specifications. Continuous length rod is coilable up to 1/2" diameters and shipped in special crates for damage protection in transit. For diameters over 1/2", Nuplaglas® is available in any cut length up to 38 feet long which is the maximum cut length that shippers can handle.
