DURAGRID® Phenolic Grating

DURAGRID® Phenolic Grating, when compared to typical polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy FRP products, is a major improvement in reduced smoke density, reduced smoke toxicity and structural integrity when exposed to fire. DURAGRID® Phenolic is accepted for use in locations and applications allowed in the U.S. Coast Guard Policy File Memorandum 2.98 for fire retardant FRP grating meeting structural fire integrity Level 2 (L2).

Strongwell's DURAGRID® Phenolic Grating is the first composite grating to receive a U.S. Coast Guard Approval and may now be used in many areas where previously only steel grating could be used. DURAGRID® Phenolic Grating also complies with Annex 1, Part 2, 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 (smoke and toxicity testing) FTP Code (International Code for Application of Fire Test Procedures) issued by the International Maritime Organization. Further information on smoke and toxicity tests is available from Strongwell upon request.
