What are the applications and advantages of FRP grating?
Applications
Industrial fields:
Petrochemical: It can be used as paving material for offshore oil platforms. It is lightweight and can reduce the load on the supporting structure. It is also corrosion-resistant and can resist the erosion of seawater and marine climate. It can also be used for operating platforms, stair treads, guardrails, trench covers, etc. in chemical plants to prevent chemical substances from corroding facilities.
Electricity: FRP is often used in trench covers, wastewater pools, etc. in chemical water workshops of power plants The insulation performance of the grille can avoid electrical accidents.
Electronics: It is widely used in the trench covers, pickling workshops, anti-static and high-cleanliness workshops of electronics factories. It can meet the strict environmental requirements of the electronics production process and prevent static electricity and dust accumulation.
Water treatment industry: It can be used as maintenance walkways, trench covers, large containers, washers, trash racks, water troughs, biochemical water treatment pool hangers, ventilation windows, stairs, cooling tower operating table paving, etc. in water treatment facilities. Its corrosion resistance and water resistance make it perform well in humid, acidic and alkaline corrosive environments.
Food processing industry: It is suitable for places with harsh environments such as marine food processing plants, such as working areas with slippery surfaces. Its hygienic performance and corrosion resistance meet the hygienic requirements of food processing and are easy to clean and maintain.
Transportation industry: It can be used to manufacture ship decks, walkways, stair treads, etc., reduce the weight of ships, increase cargo capacity, and resist corrosion from seawater and cargo. Its excellent anti-magnetic property plays an important role in military minesweepers.
Construction field: It can be used for corrosion-resistant shelves, decorations, square fountains, scaffolding, aquaculture fences and double-layer floors of civil construction facilities. It can also be used as roof support, building guardrails, door and window frames and other materials. Its aesthetics and designability can meet the needs of different architectural styles and functions.
Other fields: In car washes/car beauty shops, it can be used as car wash drainage boards, parking spaces, trench covers, etc.; in meat processing plants, it can be used for easily corroded floors, stairs, slippery floor workbenches and stair treads; in pulp and paper processing plants, it can be used in places with high humidity such as stair treads and floor slabs, floor walkways, etc.
Advantages
Light weight: The specific gravity of FRP grille is about 1.8, which is only 1/4 of that of steel, and the specific gravity of aluminum is 1.8. 2/3, light weight, easy to carry and install, can greatly reduce the load of the basic support structure, reduce the material cost of the project, and also facilitate on-site cutting, splicing and other processing operations.
High strength: Its strength is ten times that of rigid polyvinyl chloride, and its absolute strength greatly exceeds that of aluminum, reaching the level of ordinary steel. It can withstand large loads, is not easy to deform and damage, and is suitable for various high-load application scenarios.
Corrosion resistance: It has very superior corrosion resistance to many gas and liquid media such as acid, alkali, organic solvents and salts. It has unparalleled superiority in the field of corrosion protection, does not require anti-corrosion treatment, has a long service life, and can reduce maintenance costs.
Good fatigue resistance: FRP grille has a certain elasticity. When used as a working platform, it can reduce the tension of the legs and back of the staff, increase the comfort of work, and thus improve work efficiency. It has been recommended by human engineering experts.
High safety: It has excellent electrical insulation, no breakdown under 10kv voltage, no electromagnetic properties, and can be used on equipment sensitive to magnetism. During installation and use, no electric sparks will be generated due to collision, which is especially suitable for use in flammable and explosive environments. In addition, the grille with an anti-slip surface layer can prevent slipping and reduce accidents.
Strong designability: The size is flexible and diverse, easy to cut, and can be customized according to different usage requirements to meet the needs of various shapes and sizes. The product color can be selected at will, and the color can be customized according to customer requirements to improve the environment of the production site.
Low maintenance cost: FRP grilles do not require regular maintenance such as anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and painting. They have a long service life and can generally be used for about twenty years. Their comprehensive economic benefits are much better than those of traditional materials such as carbon steel.
Good fire retardancy: The flame propagation rate of ordinary flame-retardant grilles does not exceed 25, the flame propagation rate of advanced flame-retardant vinyl grilles does not exceed 10, and the oxygen index is not less than 28. They have good fire resistance and can prevent the spread of fire to a certain extent.
