Molding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid and pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. Panels are manufactured in an open, heated mold, by interweaving continuous, thoroughly wetted, fiberglass rovings with liquid resins.
• Liquid resin and continuous glass rovings are systematically layered in the mold, manually, to desired dimensions and thickness.
• Finished molds are then allowed to harden, which is known as curing.
• Once curing is complete, the panel is ejected from the mold.
• Secondary applications, such as post applied grit, can now be bonded to the concave top surface.
Interwoven, one piece construction, produces a product that has bi-directional strength and optimal corrosion resistance, with no mechanical joints between bearing bars, distributing loads throughout the panel section and around cut-outs.

The choice of resin depends on the application of the product. We offers a wide variety of standardized resins, rated and/or based on chemical resistance. All resins are fire retardant and meet minimum ASTM E84 Flame Spread, Class 1 rating of 25 or less. To compliment your design project, Solucent offers options in a variety of colors. Custom color options may be available upon request.
RESIN | RESIN BASE | DESCRIPTION | CORROSION RESISTANCE | FLAME SPREAD RATING ASTM E84 | MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE |
TYPE V | Vinyl ester | Superior corrosion resistance&Fire retardant | EXCELLENT | CLASS 1 (25 OR LESS) | 230° F/110ºC |
TYPE F | Isophthalic polyester | Food grade corrosion resistance&Fire retardant | VERY GOOD | CLASS 1 (25 OR LESS) | 221° F/105ºC |
TYPE I | Isophthalic polyester | Industrial grade corrosion resistance&Fire retardant | VERY GOOD | CLASS 1 (25 OR LESS) | 221° F/105ºC |
TYPE O | Ortho polyester | Moderate corrosion resistance&Fire retardant | MODERATE | CLASS 1 (10 OR LESS) | 212° F/100ºC |
Vinyl ester (TYPE V) - Withstands frequent and direct contact in extreme chemical environments. Ideal for use in caustic and acidic environments such as chemical plants, waste water treatment and plating applications.
Food grade Isophthalic polyester (TYPE F) - Ideal for environments in the food and beverage industry, where grating may frequently be wet or exposed to harsh cleaning products.
Industrial grade Isophthalic polyester (TYPE I) - An industrial strength resin great for environments where grating may occasionally be in contact with harsh chemicals due to splashes or spills.
Premium Ortho polyester (TYPE O) - Commonly used in general corrosion environment, weak alkali corrosion and atmospheric aging environment.
Reinforced Fiberglass

In order to ensure the mechanics and durability of the grating, we use only high quality non-alkali glass fiber.
Specification | Category | Characteristic | Applications |
E-2400TEX | Alkali-free roving (E glass) | Excellent infiltration performance, firmly bonded with the resin matrix, so that the grating has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance | For high strength and corrosive applications |
Filler
Filler type | Performance | Applications |
Aluminum hydroxide | Fire retardant, reinforced, oxygen index 28 or above | Fire retardant, smoke suppressing environment |
Calcium carbonate | Reinforced, proper cost reduction | No fire retardant request |
No filler / pure resin | Good transparency, corrosion resistance | No fire retardant request, high corrosion application |
Main applications of FRP cover plates:
1. Water treatment
Maintenance walkways, sewer cover plates, large containers, cleaners, trash racks, flow tanks, hanging appliances of the biochemical water treatment pool, ventilation windows, stairs, operating table floors of the cooling tower
2. Chemical plants
Stair plates, operating platforms, guardrails, bilayer floors, walkway cover plates, filter fences
3. Petroleum industry
Offshore oil platforms
4. Textile mills
The substitute for metal grilles and wooden platforms and can cover the cement floor, floor, areas near the bleaching and dyeing cylinder and valves, etc.
5. Power plants
Floor covers of the chemical water workshop, waste water pools, etc.
6. Metal surface treatment
Pickling sites, replacement of wooden floors around machines, areas around high corrosive containers, electroplating line walkways, bilayer floors
7. Marine food processing factory
Poor environment such as the slippery surface, on board ships
8. Transportation industry
Platforms, ship decks, walkways, mine-clearing boats, stair plates
9. Beverage industry
Stair plates, alternative to expensive stainless steel, loaded floors
10. Pulp and processing plants
Stair plates and floors, floor walkways, areas of high humidity
11. Electronic industry
Walkway cover plates, pickling workshops, antistatic ( antistatic grid ) and high cleanliness workshops
12. Meat processing plants
Erodible floors, stairs, slippery floor worktables and stair plates
13. Operation platforms
Many chemical plants have a large number of operation platforms. The operation platform made of glass fiber reinforced plastic gratings as paving material. It has characteristics like corrosion resistance, no paint, no maintenance, and long service life, which can be used for 15 to 20 years.
