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
Only 1/3 the weight of steel grating
Easy installation, less man power and low installation cost,
In comparison to steel grating
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
Meet standards of ASTM 695
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
