2 PermaStruct FRP Grating Technical Data Guide Definition Fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) is a composite material made of a thermosetting plastic resin reinforced by fine fibres of glass along with the use of additives and is commonly referred to by the name of fibreglass. Applications FRP is an immensely versatile material which combines lightweight with inherent strength to provide a resilient finished product with a variety of surface textures and a virtually unlimited colour range available. By selecting the appropriate combination of fibreglass reinforcements, resins and processing techniques, the engineer can create a product or component to meet the most demanding of specifications. Benefits High Strength Light Weight Dimensional Stability Corrosion Resistant Chemical Resistant Electrical Resistant Low Tooling/Installation Cost Long Life PermaStruct FRP Grating products compete very favourably on a performance/life cycle cost basis compared to traditional materials.

3 PermaStruct FRP Grating Technical Data Guide Raw Material Characteristics Two main components produce composite FRP: polyester resin and glass fibres. There are several types of resin systems depending on the application: Isopthalic, Orthopthalic, Vinylester and Phenolic. Isopthalic & Orthopthalic polyesters are the most widely used resin types and are suitable for most industrial applications. Phenolic & Vinylester are available by special order.

4 PermaStruct FRP Grating is a moulded non-slip composite floor grating system constructed from fibreglass as an ideal and cost effective alternative to traditional floor grating materials like mild steel, stainless steel grating, aluminium or wood. Permastruct FRP Grating grid flooring is durable, lightweight and chemical and corrosion resistant which makes it ideal for the industrial, chemical, construction and shipping industries. Size Specification The finished product is available in several panel thicknesses and lengths/widths. Bespoke sizes are available on request. Open Area Permastruct FRP Grating 25mm, 30mm,38mm thickness panels have a 68% open area. Permastruct FRP Grating 50mm thickness panels have a 71% open area. PermaStruct FRP Grating Standard.
