The latest type of industrial flooring getting recognition these days is Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic or FRP grating, used in various industries and purposes, such as walkways, floors, etc. Due to its high durability and longevity, this industrial-strength material is highly preferred when constructing any new infrastructure.

 



What is FRP Grating?

 

While constructing any building or commissioning other projects – industrial or residential – flooring is one of the essential aspects of producing a structure that can last generation after generation. It is highly durable and robust as it is made from resin's amalgamation; resin's properties effectively make FRP resistant to corrosion while fiberglass makes it strong. The flooring material from it can be safely used in environments that can be considered high-risk, such as factories and other such establishments.

 

Types of FRP Gratings 

 

The FRP Gratings are primarily of two types having different features – 


  • Moulded FRP grating: It is made from vertical and horizontal layers molded into a mesh of resin and fiberglass to give it the desired shape to be used in flooring and other structures. Due to its strength, FRP grating can be cut out without the additional reinforcement to give room to the pipes or navigate through the flooring.                                                                                                        
  • Pultruded FRP grating: It is made by combining resin and fiberglass as they undergo numerous steps to infuse them into making a new type of material. It is flexible and can be made into different shapes and sizes; it also has more strength to bear pressure and remain unchanged/ undamaged.

 

Common FRP Grating Products

 

 The FRP grating is robust, resistant to corrosion, and lightweight, making it a good option for   hazardous environments. Some of the familiar places and products that use FRP gratings are -

· Ladders

· Pool decks

· Bridges

· Ramps

· Protective shielding

· Commercial flooring

· Drain Covers

· Jetties

· Walkways

· Ramps

· Stairs

· Wash Bays

· Track crossings

· Ships

· Oil rigs

· Factories

· Construction sites

 

Benefits of FRP Grating

 

FRP grating is durable, can withstand corrosion, remains unaffected in a harsh environment with high heat or fire, is highly affordable, and needs low maintenance. It is a poor conductor of electricity, hence safe to use in an electrically hazardous environment. Its flexibility yet durability makes it easy to cut and adjust for the flooring.

Dominant Properties and Suitable Usages of PTFE Tubing in construction?

Image
PTFE stands for Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, a polymer discovered by accident at Dupont by Mr. Plunkett. PTFE is available mainly in powder form and does not melt or flow. When heated over 350 degrees Celsius, PTFE transforms from a solid to a gas. Injection molding is not possible with PTFE since it does not melt flow. Compression molding, ram extrusion, and paste extrusion are all options for PTFE. Paste extrusion is used to make PTFE tubing. PTFE tubing made by paste extrusion is very flexible.  Properties of PTFE Tubing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) criteria are met. Electrical properties are the best. Chemical resistance that is universal In the production of PTFE tubing, plasticizers are not used. Permeation is poor. Absorption is deficient. UV resistance is excellent. Compression fittings such as connectors and adapters are used to connect PTFE tubing to equipment and machines. The PTFE tubing's ID and OD dimension tolerances must be extremely tight to

How FRP Composites Developed as a Sustainable Building Material?

Image
The construction industry has experienced significant growth in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites of new structures and rehabilitation of existing facilities over the past decades. However, the feasibility of FRP composites remains a question regarding its framework of a sustainable environment. Nevertheless, its unique properties overpower the potential challenge that FRP composites pose. FRP composites are lightweight, non-corrosive, exhibit high specific strength and stiffness that can be constructed as per the need to enhance the performance requirements. To evaluate the sustainability of FRP composites, we need to consider factors such as energy/resource consumption, social factors, economic considerations, performance criteria, and more. The evaluation of FRP material is also required to determine the sustainability of a structure such as FRP Handrails Houston . The sustainability process includes a life cycle assessment that involves inputs and outputs for the pha

A Slide Plate is an Essential Product in the Oil and Gas Industry

Image
Slide Plate is a linear bearing that works as the expansion joint for the bridges. The Slide Plate is also used in structural and mechanical engineering applications. These plates have a low coefficient of friction that the contractors attach to the supporting structures. Combining these linear bearings provides maximized support, and the object can move freely too. These plates are made of Steel, Lubrite, PTFE, and TEF-MET. The slide plate made of these materials, especially PTFE, is used in high velocity and low heat conditions. Use of Slide Plates As we know, slide plates reduce friction coefficient, so it works as the stationary support element. They work best to minimize any forces generated because of deflections. Using the slide plate in the Oil and Gas Industry, the structures installed will get free movement, and there will be no extra stress caused on the designs. Moreover, the slide plates made of steel or any other material require no surface treatments and
