FRP Grating

At “ALTRA UNIVERSE”, we are your trusted source for top-quality FRP grating solutions. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, we specialize in manufacturing and supplying a wide range of FRP grating products to meet the diverse needs of various industries.

FRP Grating, or Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Grating, is a type of grating made from composite materials known as fiberglass reinforced plastic. It is used in a variety of applications where traditional metal grating may not be suitable due to factors like corrosion resistance, lightweight requirements, or electrical insulation properties. Here is a definition and description of FRP grating

FRP Grating is a structural flooring material composed of a matrix of fiberglass reinforcement and a polymer resin binder. It is manufactured through a pultrusion process, where continuous glass fibers are saturated with resin and then cured to form rigid grating panels. The resulting product is durable, corrosion-resistant, and possesses various mechanical properties suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses.

Type of GRATING

  1. Molded Grating
  2. Pultruted Grating

1) Molded Grating

Molded grating is manufactured through a molding process utilizing a closed mold. In this method, a mixture of thermosetting resin (typically polyester, vinyl ester, or phenolic) and continuous fiberglass rovings is carefully prepared. This resin-fiberglass composite is then placed within a closed mold designed with the desired grating pattern. Pressure is applied to consolidate the materials, and the grating panel cures within the sealed mold. After curing, the molded grating is demolded, trimmed to size, and undergoes quality checks before being prepared for use. This process is ideal for creating corrosion-resistant and lightweight grating panels

2) Pultruded Grating

Pultruded grating is produced using a pultrusion process involving a die. In this technique, continuous glass fibers are pulled through a resin bath, where they become impregnated with a thermosetting resin (commonly polyester, vinyl ester, or phenolic). The resin-soaked fibers are then drawn through a heated die, where they are cured and shaped into the desired grating profile, often characterized by a grid or lattice pattern. The resulting pultruded grating exhibits exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and a lightweight design. This method is particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications and environments requiring high-performance grating.
