Benefits
WHY FRP?
Greenlogy TEC is your engineering partner for fiberglass handrail, guardrail, ladder and structural product needs. Our professional engineering and drafting team can help you find the right solution that meets your needs for longevity, safety and cost.
FRP IS UP TO 70% LIGHTER THAN STEEL WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH-TO-WEIGHT RATIO.
Greenlogy TEC FRP has a high strength-to-weight ratio when compared to traditional materials like metal, concrete and wood. FRP gratings can even be strong enough to carry vehicular loads while weighing less than steel gratings.
FRP IS CORROSION RESISTANT AND REQUIRES LESS MAINTENANCE THAN STEEL.
Greenlogy TEC fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) products are widely known for the ability to support corrosion resistance in the harshest and chemical exposures enviroments. Unlike wood and metal, FRP will not corrode or rust and will keep on maintain structural strength for long time.
FRP IS NON-CONDUCTIVE AND SLIP RESISTANT, PROVIDING A SAFER ALTERNATIVE TO STEEL.
Greenlogy TEC supply the widest range of resin formulations for products, each specific performance requirements and environmental. Check our Chemical Resistance Guide to help you choose the best Greenlogy TEC resin for your application。
Corrosion Resistant
Greenlogy TEC fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) products are known for their ability to provide corrosion resistance in the harshest environments and chemical exposures. Unlike metal and wood, FRP products will not rust or corrode and will continue to maintain structural integrity over time.
Greenlogy TEC offers the widest selection of resin formulations for products, each specifically developed to solve specific environmental and performance requirements.
Low Maintenance
The durability and corrosion resistance of Greenlogy TEC FRP molded and pultruded gratings and other products reduce or eliminate the need for heavy maintenance like sandblasting, scraping and painting. In fact, most Greenlogy TEC products are easily cleaned with a high-pressure washer.
Slip Resistant
Long Service Life
Low Installation Cost
Steel installation can be time consuming and equipment intensive. Greenlogy TEC products can be easily and quickly cut with ordinary hand tools. Welding or hot work is not necessary with FRP. Greenlogy TEC fiberglass gratings are lightweight and can be installed easily with bolts and clips. Installation of FRP material can be done without using heavy equipment and machinery, requiring less manpower.
High Strength
Greenlogy TEC FRP has a high strength-to-weight ratio when compared to traditional materials like metal, concrete and wood. FRP gratings can be designed to be strong enough to carry vehicular loads while still being less than one-half the weight of steel grating.
Impact Resistant
Greenlogy TEC FRP can withstand major impacts with negligible damage. Greenlogy TEC offers extremely durable gratings to satisfy even the most stringent impact requirements.
Light Weight
The lightweight properties of Greenlogy TEC FRP result in products that weigh considerably less than steel. The density of steel is four times higher than that of FRP, and steel gratings are two to two-and-a-half times heavier than FRP gratings. FRP’s lighter weight allows easy removal for access below floor level. The reduction in weight that Greenlogy TEC products provide can save on material transit costs and installation costs.
Electrically & Thermally Non-Conductive
Greenlogy TEC FRP is electrically non-conductive leading to increased safety compared to conductive materials (i.e., metal). FRP also has low thermal conductivity (heat transfer occurs at a lower rate), resulting in a more comfortable product surface when physical contact occurs.
Fire Retardant
Most Greenlogy TEC products are engineered to have a flame spread of 25 or less as tested in accordance with ASTM E-84. They also meet the self-extinguishing requirements of ASTM D-635.
Ergonomic
The properties of Greenlogy TEC's FRP materials create flexible products that can sometimes “cushion” worker movement, easing strain on workers’ muscles and creating a more comfortable working surface. The ergonomic features of Greenlogy TEC products, such as the Greenlogy TEC© work platform, can help to reduce worker fatigue and increase productivity.
UV Resistant
CompositesLab
Composites are strong and lightweight. Products made with composites are resistant to corrosion from weather and chemicals and are made to last. Composites can be molded into flexible and complicated shapes, giving designers the freedom to create almost any shape or form.
