CFRP materials are highly regarded for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, stiffness and durability.
Carbon fiber’s high tensile strength and low density enable light weighting and make it an excellent alternative to heavy metals, like steel.
The superior strength, low weight, corrosion resistance and ability to adhere to concrete make carbon fiber composites an excellent material for infrastructure applications that require strength and durability.

However, concrete walls, sandbags, and other traditional ballistic structures are heavy, hard to move, and time-consuming to construct.
The composite material is 25% the weight of comparable steel structures and also weights significantly less than concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.

High strength-to-weight ratio
https://www.avient.com/idea/pultruded-composites-design-and-material-engineers-guide
High strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio: Pultruded composites are strong and stiff, yet they are also lightweight.
Environmental requirements: Will the composite be exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as chemicals, salt water, or extreme temperatures?
Weight requirements: Is weight savings important for the application?
