Why FRP Grating?

1. Chemical Resistance

Three grades of resin available

Resistance to a variety of acids and caustics: fron light, moderately corrosive to extremely corrosive environments

2.Light Weight

Only 1/3 the weight of steel grating

Easy installation, less man power and low installation cost,

In comparison to steel grating

A. Safety Cost: slips and falls, accidents leading to loss of work time and money

B. Installation Cost: steel grating asking for time-consuming cutting, welding, and edge-banding, and heavy lifting /handling equipment sometimes needed

C. Life Circle Cost: steel grating, repainting, maintenance, replacement, though price is lower at the beginning, but deteriorate after a few years of service

FRP grating, maintenance free

3. Impact Resistance

Meet standards of ASTM 695

4. Fire Retardancy

Up to class 1 of ASTM E84 testing

Approved by class societies as DNV, ABS to be installed on board of vessels and offshore platforms

5. Low Temperature Resistance

No crack or disforming at -190 degree Celcius

6. Slip Resistance

Good performance on both wet and dry conditions as per pendulum testing BS 7976-2

Falls and slips in wet and oily conditions will lead to loss of workdays, ie, loss of money

 

7. Maintenance Free

Require no repainting after years of service

 

8. Electrically and Thermally non-conductive

Safe for use at most work places
