Size: Standard widths range from 1' to 4' (0.3m to 1.2m), lengths up to 20' (6.1m). Custom sizes available.
Grade: Typically meets ASTM E84 Class 1 fire rating, with load capacities up to 1,500 lbs/ft² (7,320 kg/m²).
Viscosity: Resin viscosity during manufacturing ranges from 300-1,000 cP (centipoise) for proper fiber impregnation.
Buoyancy: Positive buoyancy with a density of 0.05-0.10 lbs/in³ (1.38-2.77 g/cm³), depending on design.
Material: Fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP) with isophthalic or vinyl ester resin for corrosion resistance.
Mesh Type: Molded or pultruded grating with square (1"x1", 2"x2") or rectangular (1"x2") openings.
Surface: Grit-coated or smooth finish, with options for anti-slip textures.
UV Resistance: UV-stabilized resins for prolonged outdoor/marine exposure.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to saltwater, oils, and mild acids/alkalis.
Weight: Lighter than steel (approx. 30-40% of steel weight), typically 2-6 lbs/ft² (10-30 kg/m²).
