Abstract

Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating is manufactured by combining a resin and fiberglass. That makes it a composite material. Fiberglass grating does not corrode like steel gratings. They are used in corrosive environments. Fibre glass grating is formed using continuous interwoven glass fibres as reinforcement material and resin as the matrix with continuous solidification through a mould system. The uniform construction provides excellent bi-directional mechanical properties. It is beneficial to all industries whether it be chemical, pharmaceutical, offshore or leisure to name just a few with many applications like platforms, floorings, walkways, trench covers, ramps and cable trough covers. Fibreglass grating is exceptionally slip resistant and the gritted and concave anti-slip grating offers excellent traction in wet and icy conditions. In this work, molded fibre glass gratings are manufactured and subjected to tensile test, chemical resistance, water absorption, flexural test, load bearing test.
