DURAGRATE® molded fiberglass grating is the chemical resistant flooring choice for many industrial applications. The high resin content (65%) provides long maintenance-free performance.

Features of DURAGRATE

The strong mesh grating panel allows efficient on-site cutting to minimize grating waste. Molded grating is significantly lighter in weight than metallic gratings.

Standard DURAGRATE® grating has a concave profile on the upper surface for skid resistance. Grit tops are available upon request.

Materials of Construction

Molded grating is composed of fiberglass rovings combined with a choice of five thermosetting resin systems.

VE-a premium grade vinyl ester, for high chemical resistance
XVE-a premium grade vinyl ester, with extra fire resistance (a flame spread rating of 10 or less)
PP-an all-purpose isophthalic polyester for industrial applications
GP-a general purpose orthophthalic polyester for architectural or other applications with less corrosion problems
FF-an economical isophthalic polyester for food processing or similar applications
