Corrosion & Chemical Resistance

Corrosion is a major problem for metal grating, stair treads and other surfaces, in many different industries such as chemical plants, food and beverage factories, water and waste water facilities.

GRP grating is designed to provide safe, long lasting, economical and worry-free solutions where chemicals and other corrosive materials damage the floor.

According to varying environmental requirements, different gratings can be utilised.

High Strength to Weight Ratio

GRP grating is manufactured as a composite of continuous fibreglass strands and high quality resin and is constructed for strength, but it is 60% of the weight of steel grating, allowing easy removal and access and installation with less manpower and no heavy equipment. Properly installed, the gratings meet specified load requirements as for steel and are more impact resistant than metal.

Fire Retardant

GRP grating has a flame spread rating of 25 or less depending on the type of resin system, as tested in accordance with ASTM E-84.  Special fire requirements can be met with additives.

Ergonomic

GRP grating provides a natural resiliency that makes it more comfortable to stand and work on for long periods of time.
