Fiberglass Grating is designed to provide the ultimate in reliable performance, even in
the most demanding conditions. This advanced grating is proven superior in
applications requiring bidirectional strength, corrosion resistance and long,
maintenance-free life. Available in either standard concave or optional grit-top
walking surfaces, Molded Fiberglass Grating offers outstanding skid-resistance for added
worker safety. |
|
| Molded grating is available in either
square or rectangular mesh, providing optimal customer selection. A premium product,
molded grating combines fiberglass rovings with thermosetting resin to form a strong, one
piece molded panel. Significantly lighter than metallicS, Molded Fiberglass Grating
is easy to install. The square mesh pattern of molded grating allows efficient
cutting of the panels so that a variety of flooring layouts can be accommodated with a
minimum of grating waste. Rectangular mesh molded is often used for walkways and
trench covers in many industrial applications. |

| MOLDED GRATING RESIN SYSTEMS |
|
Grating Pacific offers its Fibergrate Molded Grating line in a choice of five resin systems, assuring a resin system suited to the unique requirements of each customer application. |
|
ViCORR (ORANGE OR GRAY)- A superior resin available only from Fibergrate, ViCorr was developed for reliable performance in the toughest environments. This proprietary resin system formulation is the most chemically-resistant available today, offering outstanding resistance to a wide range of highly corrosive environments, ranging from caustic to acidic. In fact, no other resin system can match ViCorr's performance in highly acidic environments. Offers as ASTM-E-84, flame spread of 15 or less. VICORR is also available in a UL Classified resin formulation. |
|
| IFR (GREEN)- IFR is designed for industrial and chemical processing applications where corrosion resistance is important. This isophthalic polyester resin formulation offers a flame spread rating of 20 or less per ASTM E-84. IFR is also available in a UL Classified resin formulation. |
|
| XFR (GRAY)- This highly corrosion resistant resin is recommended for use where fire potential is high. This proprietary resin carries a flame spread rating of 10 or less, a level exceeded by no other resin system. |
|
| FGI (LIGHT GRAY)- USDA-accepted for food processing applications, this isophthalic polyester resin system meets the unique requirements of the food and beverage industry. FGI carries a flame spread rating of 20 or less. |
|
| CORVEX (YELLOW, GREEN OR GRAY)- An economical polyester grating, Corvex outperforms a number of competitive fiberglass products and meets the requirements for corrosion resistance found in light industrial and water/wastewater applications. This grating also offers a low flame spread rating of 25 or less. |
