FRP Grating
Teknomatic Engineering supplies premium FRP Grating (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer), engineered for strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant walkways, platforms, stair treads, drainage covers and industrial flooring. Ideal for harsh, wet, chemical or outdoor environments where steel would corrode.
Our FRP Grating offers excellent strength, long life, and low maintenance. It comes in molded and pultruded types, with different mesh, thickness, panel sizes and finishes to meet project needs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Corrosion & Chemical Resistance: Does not rust, resists acids, alkalis, moisture.
- Lightweight yet Strong: Much lighter than steel; high load capacity relative to weight.
- Non-Conductive & Non-Magnetic: Safe for electrical and sensitive equipment environments.
- Slip Resistance: Available with top surfaces that reduce slipping (gritted / checkered) even when wet.
- Low Maintenance & Long Service Life: Minimal upkeep, often >20-25 years in good conditions.
- Fire & UV Resistance Options: Can be made flame-retardant; UV stabilizers protect outdoor use.
Specifications & Range
Typical specification options for FRP Grating panels. Final choice depends on loading requirements, span, exposure and finish desired.
| Specification | Range / Typical Values | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Panel Sizes (Width × Length) | ≈ 1,220 mm × 3,660 mm; also ~ 1,220 × 4,000 mm etc. | Custom sizes available. |
| Thickness / Depth | ≈ 10 mm to ~ 50 mm (common: 15-38 mm) | Greater depths for heavy loads or heavy duty use. |
| Mesh / Grid Opening | ≈ 20 × 20 mm up to 50 × 50 mm for molded; rectangular openings (pultruded) also possible. | Smaller openings reduce debris passage but increase cost. |
| Open-Area % | ≈ 40-80 % | Depends on mesh size, rib size, panel type. |
| Load / Uniform Distributed Load (UDL) | ≈ 250-1,000 kg/m² depending on thickness, span and support spacing. | Heavy-duty panels with thicker ribs give higher load capacity. |
| Material & Resin Types | Polyester, Vinyl-ester, sometimes phenolic resins; fiberglass reinforcement. | Vinyl-ester better for chemical / acid exposure. |
| Standards / Testing | ASTM D790, ASTM E84 / D635, local industrial / safety standards; quality systems like ISO 9001. | Fire / slip / chemical resistance tested. |
