Umahluko phakathi kombhobho wesanti we-FRP kunyeumbhobho wentsimbi.I-fiber yeglasi eqiniswe ngumbhobho wesanti yeplastiki luhlobo olutsha lwezinto ezidibeneyo ezenziwe nge-resin njengezinto ze-matrix, i-glass fiber kunye neemveliso zayo njengento yokuqinisa, kunye nesanti ye-quartz njengento yokuzalisa.Ngokumelana nokugqwesa kwayo okugqwesileyo, iimpawu zehydraulic, ukukhanya okukhaphukhaphu kunye namandla aphezulu, ukuhamba okukhulu kokuhambisa, ukufakwa okufanelekileyo, ixesha elifutshane lokwakha, kunye notyalo-mali olubanzi oluphantsi, iye yaba lukhetho lweshishini lemichiza, ubunjineli bokuhambisa amanzi, kunye nobunjineli bemibhobho.

Umbhobho wentsimbi usetyenziselwa ukuthutha ulwelo kunye nezinto eziqinileyo ezingumgubo, ukutshintshiselana ngobushushu, kunye nokwenza amalungu oomatshini kunye nezikhongozeli.Kwakhona yintsimbi yoqoqosho.Ukusebenzisa imibhobho yentsimbi ukwenza iigridi zesakhiwo sokwakha, iintsika, kunye nezixhaso zoomatshini kunokunciphisa ubunzima, konga isinyithi ngama-20-40%, kwaye kuqatshelwe ukwakhiwa komatshini womzimveliso.Ukusetyenziswa kwemibhobho yentsimbi ukuvelisa iibhulorho zohola wendlela akugcini nje ukugcina intsimbi, ukwenza lula ulwakhiwo, kodwa kunciphisa kakhulu indawo yomaleko okhuselayo kunye nokugcina iindleko zotyalo-mali kunye nokugcinwa kwazo.
