By optimally exploiting one or more of the material's properties - mechanical strength, durability, moldability, dimensional stability, weight savings - it is possible to develop applications in which BPR competes with many other materials, including steel, aluminum and cast iron. Its applications then go beyond the simple framework of building and civil engineering.
