Molded fiberglass grating is produced by adding fiberglass and non-woven coarse yarn additives under large metal molds, then casting them into thermosetting resin, and finally forming the fiberglass sheets through machine molding. In recent years, it has been widely used in various industries such as petroleum, chemical electronics, electric power, paper making, dyeing, electroplating, marine exploration, and wastewater treatment for work platforms, equipment platforms, drilling platforms, walkways, etc. It is a commonly used product in corrosive environments and is also applied in civil construction facilities. The specific advantages of molded fiberglass grating include: 1. Since it is formed through machine molding and the molds are fixed, the produced fiberglass grating has consistent dimensions.

In recent years, it has been widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical electronics, electricity, paper, printing and dyeing, electroplating, marine exploration, and sewage treatment for work platforms, equipment platforms, drilling platforms, walkways, etc. It is a commonly used product in corrosive environments and is also applied in civil construction facilities.
The specific advantages of molded fiberglass grating are:
1. Because it is formed by machine molding and the molds are fixed, the produced fiberglass grating has uniform size and dimensions, and the production mode is simple, making it suitable for large-scale production by enterprises.
2. As a molded product, the proportion of additives is very uniform, resulting in fiberglass grating that has a high cost-performance ratio in terms of toughness and strength.
3. During the production process, pigments can be added according to actual needs to create grating in various colors, with all colors adjusted electronically, resulting in finished products with basically no color difference.
4. The components of molded grating are stable, and the reasonable structure ultimately determines that its service life is significantly longer than that of gratings made by other methods.
Classification and uses of molded fiberglass grating:
The first type is fiberglass grating panels, which are plate-like materials made from fiberglass yarn and synthetic resin through special processes on customized molds, with a certain porosity.
Uses: Can be used as walkways, bridge decks, industrial floors, operation platforms, trench covers, pallets, guardrails, fences, shelves, isolation belts, green space walkways, stair treads, etc.
The second type is sewage treatment plant grating, which is used in sewage treatment due to its excellent corrosion resistance. It can be used as flooring material for operation platforms under cooling towers, as hanging devices for biochemical water treatment tanks, and as maintenance walkways and work platforms in sewage treatment plants.
The third type is tree pit fiberglass grating, which is used for fiberglass tree grates and tree protection boards. It is widely used in parks, street green belts, and various places for greening trees. The cover has rainwater infiltration holes, allowing tree roots to maintain loose soil and absorb moisture and nutrients, protecting trees from soil erosion.
The fourth type is car wash grating, which is used in car wash shops and facilities. It is made from unsaturated polyester resin as the matrix and alkali-free fiberglass as the reinforcement material, refined through special processes. It features lightweight high strength, corrosion resistance, flame retardance, non-magnetic insulation, bright colors, and various styles available. It can be laid in several different ways: full coverage, parking space layout, tire layout, etc.
The fifth type is fiberglass cover plates, which simply add a layer of fiberglass patterned cover plate on top of the fiberglass grating, enhancing the anti-slip performance of the cover.
Uses: Most commonly used in sewage treatment plants and power stations, as cable cover plates and walkways. They are also widely used in food processing plants, chemical plants, and offshore platforms. Fiberglass cover plates are also applied in lawn greening as guiding walkways.
