For highly corrosive chemical environments, we recommend the Vinyl Ester (VE) resin system, as it provides excellent chemical proofing and superior resistance to acids and alkalis.
Yes, we offer a Food Grade (FF) Isophthalic resin system that is NSF-61 certified, specifically designed for beverage and seafood processing environments.
Our standard treads are designed for a 300lbs (136kg) load at mid-span, with maximum spans ranging from 31" to 38" depending on the allowed deflection.
FRP steps are vastly superior in marine applications because they do not rust in saltwater, reducing long-term maintenance and improving overall safety.
Absolutely. Jrain specializes in customized FRP products, allowing us to engineer treads and steps to meet your exact structural and size requirements.
Yes, our resin systems include fire retardants that achieve Class 1 flame spread ratings (110-125 or less), ensuring compliance with industrial safety codes.
