What is IFR resin?
IFR: a premium grade Isophthalic Polyester Resin System that provides excellent corrosion protection. Standard colors available: Green, Yellow, Dark Gray and Light Gray. VFR: a Vinyl Ester Resin System provides the highest level of corrosion protection.
What is Moulded grating?
During the molded manufacturing process, the continuous fiberglass rovings are completely covered in a high percentage of resin, 65% by volume. With this high resin content, molded gratings are the most chemically resistant gratings offered and are often used in caustic chemical environments without hesitation.
What does FRP stand for in grating?
We talk about metal a lot, but when it comes to grating, it’s not the only high-quality, high-strength material that can be used. Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) is also a fantastic grating material.
What is fiberglass grating used for?
Fiberglass grating does not corrode like steel grating and is therefore used in corrosive environments to reduce maintenance costs. It is used in a variety of applications including walkways and overhead platforms. FRP grating is a structural product that can be weight-bearing between spans.
What are FRP sheets?
Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP; also called fiber-reinforced polymer, or fiber-reinforced plastic) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. Rarely, other fibres such as paper, wood, or asbestos have been used.
How is FRP grating made?
How is FRP grating made? FRP grating is made by combining fibreglass and resin. The fibreglass gives the finished product its strength, while the resin makes it resistant to corrosive substances.
Which is Better FRP or PVC?
PVC can be recycled up to seven times and has a lifespan of around 140 years. FRP is difficult to dispose of and almost impossible to recycle. FRP is derived from polymers and monomers that often cannot be separated and returned to their individual elements.
How strong is FRP grating?
FRP gratings can be designed to be strong enough to carry vehicular loads while still being less than one-half the weight of steel grating. Fibergrate FRP can withstand major impacts with negligible damage.
Where is FRP grating used?
FRP pultruded gratings are highly used in offshore rig plants, power plants, oil and gas industry and in various architectural structures. FRP heavy duty gratings are suited for water treatment plants, food industries, chemical factories, and more.
Where is FRP used?
With its excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical attack, FRP is widely used in the chemical industry for the construction of pipe work and for chemical storage vessels, fume scrubbers and many other high performance applications.
