FRP flanges, made from a combination of glass fibers and a polymer matrix, offer numerous advantages over traditional metal counterparts. Their lightweight nature significantly reduces installation time and labor costs, making them an attractive option for large-scale projects. They are also highly resistant to corrosion, a trait that renders them ideal for use in harsh environments such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and wastewater treatment facilities where exposure to corrosive substances is inevitable.

Fiberglass covered grating proves especially important in covering vats and solid flooring, where high heels might present a tripping hazard with an open mesh grating. Fiberglass covered grating has a fiberglass gritted plate cover fastened to a grating panel. Our fiberglass covered grating is available in standard panel sizes with either a 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch thick plate applied to standard depths of grating. Fiberglass covered grating is available in all of our resin systems and a variety of colors to best suit your application or project.

Despite all these advantages, there are some challenges associated with FRP pipelines. One common issue is the potential for delamination, where the layers of fiber reinforcement separate from the resin matrix. This can lead to a decrease in the structural integrity of the pipeline and reduce its overall lifespan. Proper installation and maintenance procedures can help prevent delamination and ensure the long-term performance of FRP pipelines.
