1. Corrosion and chemical resistant
Corrosion is a major
problem for metal or wooden grating, stair
treads and other products in many different
industries such as chemical plants, food and
beverage factories, water and wastewater facilities,
power facilities. MINCOM® grating
is particularly designed to provide safe,
long-lasting, economical and worry-free solutions
in environments where chemicals and other
corrosive materials attack and destroy metal
or wood. According to different environmental
requirements, such resins as orthophthalic
polyester, is ophthalmic polyester, vinylester
or phenolic are chosen as matrix material. |

2. High strength-to-weight ratio
MINCOM®
grating manufactured as a composite of continuous
fiberglass strands and high quality resin
is integrally constructed for strength, but
it is less than one-half the weight of steel
grating allowing easy removal for access below
floor level and installation with no heavy
equipment and less manpower. Properly installed,
MINCOM® gratings meet specified
load requirements for steel and are more impact
resistant than metal. |

|
3. Fire retardant
MINCOM®
grating has flame spread rating of 25 or less
depending on different resin systems as tested
in term of ASTM E-84. Test Report can be offered
upon request. Special fire retardant requirements
can also be met by adding extra additives.

4. Ergonomic
Employees are experiencing
fatigue after standing on solid concrete or
heavy non-adjustable galvanized steel platforms
all day, MINCOM® gratings are
the best solutions to ease the strain on the
backs, feet and legs of workers increasing
workers’ comfort and productivity due to its
natural slight resiliency that makes them
comfortable to stand on for a long period.

5. Slip-resistant
MINCOM®
molded grating has a concave top surface for
slip resistance after it is extracted from
the mold. Should a grit surface be specified,
the grit would be either bonded to the top
of the completed grating as a secondary operation
or embedded to the top of grating before heating,
both providing superior slip resistance. Diamond
cover top or gritted cover top are also available
upon request.

6. Anti-aging
More than 20 years
of Life is guaranteed for MINCOM®
FRP gratings.
|
 |
| |
|
7. Low maintenance
Install it and forget
about it. MINCOM® grating is
easy to clean, its open meshes permitting
debris to fall through grating panel and preventing
hazardous buildup on walking surface. MINCOM®
grating is free from re-painting year after
year not only for the inherent corrosion resistance
but also for the molded-in color and ultraviolet
resistance character.

| |
|
8. Safety
NON-CONDUCTIVE property
makes MINCOM® grating ideally
suitable in electrically hazardous locations
acting as an insulator.
NON-MAGNETIC property allows MINCOM® grating
to be used in sensitive installations where
the inherent magnetic properties of metal
grating will prove dangerous.
|
 |
| |
|
9. Comprehensive economical efficiency
The cost of MINCOM®
FRP grating is about 1.4-1.8 times that of
steel grating, installation cost is about
20-40% that of steel grating, and maintenance
cost is about zero. But steel gratings must
be maintained every year, and the accumulated
cost will be a very high sum. So, the cost
of MINCOM® FRP grating is a
little higher than that of steel grating,
but the comprehensive economical efficiency,
plus other advantages, is much higher than
that of steel grating.
