A GFRP usually is between 10 percent to 50 percent glass fiber by weight. In many cases, biobased fillers and fibers also have a lower density, which can help when trying to reduce weight. Tungsten filler also can replace lead in projectile ammunition— satisfying lead level regulations—and provides weight and balance in such sporting equipment as golf clubs and weight training vests.
