Industrial Applications and Benefits of GRP Cable
Trays
2

• The term GRP is an abbreviation for Glass
  Reinforced Plastic or Glass-fibre Reinforced
  Polymer. GRP is a composite substance made up of
  the mixture of a polymer substance reinforced or
  augmented with glass-fiber or fiberglass. The GRP
  substance is also referred to as FRP (Fiber
  Reinforced Plastic) and GFRP (Glass-Fiber-Reinforc
  ed Plastic). Now the important question is that
  what is a cable tray? A cable tray is a kind of
  ladder-pipe system which is used in industries to
  carry wires and cables safe inside it. The cable
  trays that are manufactured of GRP material are
  known as GRP cable trays.
• The GRP cable tray system is often termed as GRP
  cable support system. In the previous times, the
  cable trays were manufactured from iron and
  aluminum. After the introduction of GRP material,
  these iron and aluminum cable trays were replaced
  by GRP cable trays due to several advantages over
  them.

Advantages of GRP Cable Trays

• Anti-Corrosive The GRP cable trays are
  non-corrosive nature irrespective of its
  environment. While the iron and aluminum cable
  trays, both are corrosive. The iron trays form a
  rusty layer and aluminum trays form white greyish
  film or patina due to corrosion with gases and
  humidity around them.

4

• High Strength The GRP cables have a high body
  strength and can bear a relatively high force on
  them.
• No requirement of Earthing Since the GRP cable
  trays are actually a kind of plastic material, so
  they do not conduct electricity and hence do not
  require earthing. While in iron and aluminum
  cable trays, earthing is required due to their
  high electrical conductivity.

5

• Good Electrical Insulation GRP cable trays,
  being plastic components, do not conduct
  electricity from inner wires to their outside
  wall. This avoids any kind of shock or electrical
  accident. While the condition is not the same in
  the case of iron and aluminum trays.
• U.V. Resistant The GRP trays are also resistive
  to UltraViolet rays and thus they find
  application in industries or laboratories where
  UV rays are used.

6

• Easy to install The GRP cable trays are light in
  weight with respect to their size and hence are
  easy to handle and install. GRP trays have holes
  made in them already which makes the installation
  easier.
• Non-Toxic These are non-toxic in nature and can
  not cause any kind of harm in this term.

7

• Low Thermal Conductivity They also have low
  thermal conductivity as compared to iron and
  aluminum cable trays. This makes them fire
  retardant and they reduce the chance of any kind
  of fire accidents which makes them reliable.
• Along with all these advantages, the GRP Cable
  Trays are also cheap in cost as compared to those
  made up of iron and aluminum. GRP Cable Trays
  comes with different standards for different
  industries based on the requirements and
  environmental condition of the plants and thus
  used in various segments of the industry. For
  instance, in a chemical industry, the GRP cable
  trays must be resistive to the acids too.
