Fibergrate Patterns & Details
The following details present our most popular Fibergrate products. In addition to the products illustrated, alternative depths and non-stock panel sizes are available on special order.
Fibergrate Surface Options
Meniscus Surface
The concave surface of Fibergrate's standard meniscus top provides excellent slip-resistant footing in most environments including wet or oily conditions.
Applied Grit Surface
Fibergrate's optional grit top grating has a quartz grit which is secondarily applied, cured and sealed onto the surface providing excellent slip-resistant footing.
Resin Systems
CORVEX® - An economy polyester grating, Corvex outperforms a number of competitive fiberglass and metal products and meets the requirements for corrosion resistance found in light industrial and water/wastewater applications. Color: yellow, dark gray or dark green. Flame Spread: ASTM E84 rating of 25 or less. Certifications: DNV Type Approval No. F-16856.
VI-CORR® - A superior vinyl ester resin developed for reliable performance in the toughest environments. It offers outstanding resistance to a wide range of highly corrosive situations, ranging from caustic to acidic. In fact, no other resin system can match Vi-Corr's performance in highly acidic environments. Color: orange or dark gray. Flame spread: ASTM E84 rating of 25 or less. Certifications: UL Classification available; DNV Type Approval No. F-16856; USCG Accepted; ABS Type Approval No. 01-HS34733-X).
FGI-AM* - This improved food-grade isophthalic polyester resin system offers antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of mold on the surface of the composite to protect the product itself along with the necessary corrosion resistance to meet the requirements of the food and beverage industry.Color: light gray. Flame Spread: ASTM E84 rating of 25 or less. Certifications: USDA accepted.
IFR - This isophthalic polyester fire-retardant resin formulation is designed for industrial and chemical processing applications where corrosion resistance is important. Color: green or dark gray. Flame Spread: ASTM E84 rating of 25 or less. Certifications: UL Classification available.
*This product is intended only for non-public health uses.
XFR - This extra fire-retardant vinyl ester resin is recommended for use where the fire potential is high. Color: dark gray. Flame Spread: ASTM E84 rating of 10 or less, a level exceeded by no other resin system. Certifications: DNV Type Approval No. F-16856.
ELS - This Extremely Low Smoke resin is an acrylic-modified polyester system that is ideal for tunnel, offshore, mass transit and other confined space applications. ELS exhibits low ignitability, low smoke generation and extremely low smoke toxicity. Color: light gray. Flame Spread: ASTM E84 rating of 25, a smoke density index of 100 and Fuel Contribution of 0. Certifications: DNV Type Approval No. F-16856.
SUPER VI-CORR® - This family of resin systems consists of more than 30 custom formulas engineered to provide corrosion control solutions in applications that are too severe for conventional FRP and other building materials. Each Super Vi-Corr resin was engineered for the best possible performance in specific chemical and/or elevated temperature environments. These systems exist for aggressive chemical service in reagents like solvents, acidic oxidizers, chlorine dioxide, sodium hypochlorite and liquid desiccants. Certain formulas are also suited for elevated temperature applications up to 400° F. Super Vi-Corr gratings are typically used for packing hold-downs and support in environmental and process scrubber applications. Color: natural - tan to beige. Flame Spread: non fire retardant, unless specified.
