We can find resin sculptures and fiberglass sculptures in the market. While fiberglass sculpture features lightweight, corrosion resistance, simple process and relatively low cost. FRP sculpture is a sculpture made of fiber-reinforced plastic called FRP as the raw material, and there is resin in the composition of FRP. What is the difference between FRP sculpture and resin sculpture?

First, the composition of Sculpture. Both of the resin sculpture and FRP sculpture contain raw resin materials, but there are still differences between them. The resin sculpture is made of unsaturated resin, while FRP is made with unsaturated resin adding glass fiber, making products more solid, more corrosion-resistant and versatile for use.

Second, the production and fabrication. Resin sculpture is made by pouring unsaturated resin into the mold, dry up, polishing, and painting after solidification for the final piece. The production of FRP sculpture is different. The custom statue is designed first according to the different needs for FRP sculpture including animal FRP sculpture, figure portrait sculpture, and so on. The making of FRP sculpture is to first make the products with specific clay materials to produce the corresponding products, and then turn the plaster outer mold and then paint the inside of the outer mold. After drying, the outer mold is opened, and the finished product of the FRP sculpture is obtained by closing the mold.

Last, the style and quality of the sculpture. Resin sculpture is made with transparent colors, based on a variety of landscape models. The resin sculpture’s storage time is generally about 10-15 years. The FRP sculptures are mostly animated cartoons, animals and colorful outdoor theme parks, relatively large in sizes, and they are generally placed as outdoor landscapes. FRP sculptures can be used as environmental embellishment to make the community more distinctive and can usually be kept outdoors for 3-5 years.
