Fiberglass Grating

• Why You Should Use It

2

• Fiberglass can be made in a lot number of ways,
  with a number of different chemical recipes.So,
  fiberglass can imitate quality plastics, metals
  and woods fairly accurately, and at lower costs.

3

• Fiberglass grating is durable, affordable and
  lightweight, but its also strong as all heck.
  There are many benefits of using this type of
  material, but the most important being that it is
  an excellent alternative to metal grating where
  rust, corrosion, or chemical attack are issues.

4

• It takes four times the amount of plastic per
  square inch to support thermal-molded fiberglass
  gratings strength per unit. In fact, its so
  resistant to weight and corrosion that battery
  racks are almost always made of this material as
  well. Battery acid is highly corrosive, even if
  the batteries are maintained, its entirely
  possible for one to spring a leak. Combined with
  their massive weight, upward of 50 pounds in many
  cases, this adds up to a need for a material that
  doesnt rust or dissolve easily, and which has
  the tensile strength to fight this chemical
  advance under significant pressure.

5

• The resin systems available include Orthophthalic
  Polyester (for general purpose), Isophthalic
  Polyester (or ISO), Vinyl Ester, Fire Retardant,
  USDA certified, all have UV Resistance. Each are
  designed to fit the specific needs and conditions
  of where the grating will be used, and how it
  will be used.

6

• Several industries use this type of material
  including food processing plants, waste water
  treatment plants, lift stations, aquariums,
  chemical plants, plating shops, Power plants
  along with beverage and canning facilities.
