What is FRP grating?
FRP (fibreglass reinforced plastic) grating is moulded or pultruded from glass fibre and resin. It is corrosion-resistant, non-conductive, non-sparking and about a quarter the weight of steel — the choice for chemical, water, marine and electrical areas.
FRP comes in two forms. Moulded FRP is a one-piece bi-directional panel with excellent corrosion resistance, while pultruded FRP uses high-glass-content bearing bars for higher loads and longer spans. The resin (polyester, vinyl ester or phenolic) is chosen for the chemical environment.
Because it does not rust, conduct electricity or spark, FRP is specified where steel would corrode or pose a safety risk — wash-down areas, water treatment, offshore decks and near electrical equipment. Its light weight also makes panels easy to lift and install by hand.
