>> Product Introduction
Fiberglass (FRP) grating is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to metal grating, made from fiberglass-reinforced polymer. It offers high strength-to-weight ratio and is ideal for harsh environments where traditional materials fail.This molded fiberglass grating is widely used in industrial walkways, platform flooring, drainage covers, stair treads and offshore facilities. It has become an ideal replacement for metal materials in harsh chemical and humid environments.
Key Features:
Non-conductive & non-sparking – Safe for electrical/explosive areas
Chemical-resistant – Withstands acids, alkalis, and solvents
Low maintenance – No rust or corrosion, even in saltwater
Slip-resistant surfaces – Molded grit or serrated options
Applications: Chemical plants, offshore platforms, walkways, and food processing facilities.
Keywords: FRP fiberglass grating, non-metallic flooring, chemical-resistant walkways
Material & Performance
Fiberglass grating adopts high-quality continuous fiberglass yarn as reinforcement and high-density resin as bonding material. The integrated molding structure ensures overall impact resistance and uniform load distribution.
It will not rust, oxidize or degrade under long-term exposure to sewage, chemical liquid, salt spray and ultraviolet rays. Excellent insulating performance makes it perfect for power plants, substations and electrical workshops.

>> Product Operate Guide
Handling & Storage
Store panels flat on wooden pallets to prevent warping. Use nylon slings for lifting – avoid metal hooks that can damage edges.
Installation
Secure with FRP-compatible fasteners (stainless steel or fiberglass bolts). Allow 3-5mm gaps between panels for thermal expansion.
Load Management
Distribute weight evenly across bars – never exceed 4 tons/m². Avoid point loads from sharp objects.
Cleaning
Use pH-neutral cleaners and soft brushes. For grease, apply mild degreasers (<60°C). Never use hydrochloric acid!
Inspection
Check annually for surface wear or UV degradation. Replace if grit texture wears below 0.6 friction coefficient.

>> FAQ
1. How does FRP compare to steel grating?
FRP is 1/4 the weight of steel, rust-proof, and non-conductive, but has lower load capacity (max 4 tons/m²). Ideal for corrosive/electrical environments.
2. Is it slippery when wet?
No. Molded grit surfaces achieve 0.85+ friction coefficient, exceeding OSHA standards. Optional serrated patterns available for oily areas.
3. Can it withstand high temperatures?
Standard FRP handles 120°C continuously (150°C short-term). For higher temps, phenolic resin options resist 180°C.
4. How do I clean chemical spills?
Rinse immediately with water. For acids/alkalis, use pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid abrasives that damage the resin surface.
5. Is customization available?
Yes. We provide CNC-cut panels (±2mm), custom colors (RAL codes), and closed-mesh designs for small part containment.
