Is it possible to make large, one-piece molded FRP products that do not require internal metallic reinforcement?

Yes. It is possible to manufacture large, one-piece molded FRP products without using internal metallic reinforcement. Like other materials, FRP has defined mechanical, physical, and chemical properties according to its composition. Therefore, the correct design of these products is what makes them safe and reliable when they undergo extreme mechanical loads. In some cases, FRP is reinforced with stiffening elements or steel accessories. This is not due to FRP’s failure to resist overloads, but to specific improvements in the technical-economic balance of the product. That is the case of grommets, rings, support columns, anchoring devices, etc.
