 What is Fiberglass
Contents Reinforced Plastic (FRP)?
Features 1 ICIW FRP grating is a moulded, One-piece fiberglass
FRP Products – Standard, Mini Mesh 3 reinforced plastic grating, available in standard panels or
custom panels made to order form drawings supplied. It is
Chemical Resistance Guide 4 principally used for floors, platforms, stair treads, ramps,
catwalks and trench covers.
Fittings 5
ICIW FRP grating is composed of 65% resin and
35% continuous fibreglass strand. The standard panel is
3660 mm x 1220 mm.

Features

Corrosion Resistance Light Weight

Whether the grating is exposed to continuous submersion,
Splash, spills, fumes or gases, the high resin content of
FRP resists corrosion to a wide range of chemicals.
Fire Resistance
Flame spread rating of class 1, 25 or
Less, in accordance with the American
Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) E-84 tunnel test method.
Non-Sparking
Ideally suited for installations where combustible gases may
be present. FRP will not cause sparking when impacted
by metallic objects.
Non-Electrically Conductive
FRP is not electrically conductive. This makes it ideal
for work platforms, flooring and fencing in electrically
hazardous areas.
FRP grating panels are light in weight, they can be easily
handled without means of mechanical hoists or lifts.
Two directional load bearing
Squared pattern moulded grating offers load bearing
capacity in both directions.
Optional Anti-Slip Surface
An anti-slip surface can be provided by embedding a
coarse grit into the resin.
Easy On-Site Fabrication
Standard FRP grating panels are ideal for on site
fabrication. It is easy to cut with standard cutting tools to
suit individual installations. Sealing kits can be provided
to seal cut edges.
Cost Performance
FRP has a long life span with low installation costs.

Special Features of FRP

Integral, one-piece construction increases
Load-bearing capabilities.
Load applied to a ICIW FRP bar is
transferred to adjoining bearing bars, assisting
in load distribution on the grating as well as
on the support structure.
Square grid patterns benefit from integral one-
piece construction. Smooth resin-rich vertical
surfaces and tapered bars allow all debris to
fall through.
Continuous glass fiber strand in alternating layers
is thoroughly wetted with polyester resin for
Excellent corrosion resistance.
ANTI-SKID SURFACE (optional.) The top surface
has bonded coarse grit to provide excellent
skid resistance.
Open area 70%

 FIBREGLASS MOLDED GRATINGS

ICIW is one of the India’s leading producers of molded grating.

Renowned for their high strength, corrosion in the harshest
environments , long life and safety. Molded Gratings meet the highest
international standards. Produced form carefully selected resin
Systems, ICIW Grating designed to deliver many years of reliable
service , outperforming the traditional materials they replace.
ICIW Gratings are lightweight, easy to fabricate and install. Their
acceptance in many major industries has made them the first choice
over steel, not only for their performance but cost competitiveness.
Comparable with steel at the installed cost stage, their low maintenance
and long life means significantly lower life cycle cost than that steel.

Fiberglass Molded Gratings are available with Polyester, vinyl ester or

phenolic resin. All kinds of resin are self-extinguishing and UV-stabilized.

ICIW’s Resin Selection Systems

Resin Selection
The first step to ensure maintenance – free flooring solution is ICIW Grating. Having an appropriate resin makes highest
performance in the most demanding circumstances. ICIW Gratings are available in five standard resin grades which are highly
Economical while they maintain high standards of performance.

ICIW Resin Grades

Resin Type Resin Base Description Flame spread rating ASTM E84

Type V Vinyl Ester Superior Corrosion & Fire Retardant Class1, 25 or less

Type IFR Isopthalic Industrial Grade Corrosion resistance & Class1, 25 or less
Polyester Fire retardant

Type I Isopthalic Industrial Grade Corrosion resistance in acidic Non fire retardant
Polyester environment

Type P Phenolic Low smoke and superior Fire Resistance Class1, 5 or less
