Phenolic Pultruded FRP Grating: Built for Offshore and Hazardous Conditions

We recently received a detailed inquiry from Merjen Yol Procurement and Logistics, a supplier to major energy players such as Eni, Petronas, and Dragon Oil. The request was for high-specification phenolic FRP pultruded gratings and stair treads suitable for demanding environments such as offshore platforms and petrochemical facilities.

Client Requirements Overview

  • Grating Type: Pultruded
  • Material: Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
  • Resin: Phenolic
  • Surface: Embedded Quartz Grit (Anti-slip)
  • Load Capacity: 15 kN/m² uniform, 20 kN concentrated
  • Deflection: Span/200
  • Span: 1200 mm
  • Certification: EN 10204 Type 2.2

 

Why Phenolic Resin for FRP Gratings?

Phenolic resins are known for their exceptional fire resistance, low smoke, and toxicity properties. These characteristics make phenolic FRP gratings highly suitable for environments where fire safety is critical-such as oil rigs, chemical plants, and naval installations.

Additionally, the gratings are:

  • UV Resistant – ideal for long-term outdoor use
  • Corrosion Resistant – performs in seawater or chemical exposure
  • Lightweight Yet Strong – easy to handle, install, and maintain

Stair Treads with Phenolic Resin – Added Safety & Strength

The inquiry also included 50 pieces of stair treads with the following specifications:

  • Dimensions: 280 x 1000 mm
  • Load: 15 kN/m² uniform, concentrated load 15 kN over 300x300 mm
  • Surface: Anti-slip with integrated quartz grit
  • UV Resistance: Suitable for extreme weather exposure
  • Accessories: Supplied with complete fixation sets

EN 10204 Type 2.2 Certification – What Does It Mean?

This certification indicates that the material properties are verified by inspection documents based on non-specific inspection and testing. It assures clients like those in Turkmenistan that the FRP gratings and treads comply with structural, mechanical, and safety standards required in high-stakes industries.
