   • Benefits: High load-bearing strength, capable of supporting pedestrian and light vehicular traffic, depending on thickness.

2. Corrosion Resistance

   • Environment: Resistant to chemicals, oils, saltwater, and moisture, making it ideal for marine, wastewater, and chemical environments.
   • Benefit: Outlasts steel or wood alternatives, especially in corrosive or wet settings.

3. Lightweight Design

   • Weight: 25–50% lighter than metal plates, simplifying handling and installation.
   • Benefit: Reduced transportation costs and easier manual handling for workers.

4. Anti-Slip Surface

   • Surface Options: Available with gritted textures, patterned surfaces, or smooth finishes to meet specific traction needs.
   • Safety Compliance: Complies with slip-resistance standards, reducing fall risks in wet or oily conditions.

5. UV Stabilization

   • UV-Resistant Resin: Protects the cover from sun damage and fading in outdoor environments.
   • Long-Term Durability: Suitable for long-term exposure in both sunny and shaded areas.

6. Fire Resistance

   • Fire-Retardant Grades: Available in fire-resistant resins meeting Class 1 and Class 2 fire ratings.
   • Safety: Provides enhanced safety in facilities with flammable materials or high fire-risk areas.

7. Non-Conductive

   • Electric Safety: Fiberglass is non-conductive, making it safe for use near electrical equipment and cables.
   • Ideal for: Industrial and electrical settings where accidental conductivity could pose risks.

8. Customizable Options

   • Dimensions: Available in standard and custom sizes to fit trenches, ducts, and walkways.
   • Color Options: Standard colors like gray, yellow, green, or custom colors for visibility or branding.
   • Thickness: Common options range from 5 mm to 50 mm, adaptable to load and durability requirements.
   • Additional Coatings: Anti-graffiti, anti-bacterial, and additional UV coatings available upon request.

Technical Specifications:

1. Standard Dimensions:

   • Thickness: 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and custom thicknesses available.
   • Width & Length: Standard sizes and customizable dimensions based on specific project requirements.

2. Load Capacity:

   • Pedestrian Load: Typically 1,000–2,000 lbs, depending on plate thickness.
   • Vehicle Load: Heavy-duty options available for light vehicular load requirements.

3. Temperature Resistance:

   • Range: -30°C to +120°C (-22°F to +248°F), suitable for extreme temperature environments.

4. Weight:

   • 25–30% the weight of equivalent steel plates, easing installation and reducing labor costs.

Applications:

1. Industrial Facilities

   • Trench and duct covers, flooring for chemical processing plants, and power plants where chemical exposure or electricity is present.

2. Marine & Coastal

   • Ideal for docks, piers, and ports that face frequent exposure to saltwater and moisture.

3. Water & Wastewater Treatment

   • Trench covers and flooring, where constant moisture and chemical resistance are needed.

4. Transportation and Public Infrastructure

   • Used in transit stations, airports, and bridges for trench covering and safe walkways.

5. Commercial Spaces

   • Slip-resistant flooring or trench covers in shopping centers, public walkways, and ramps.

6. Outdoor Applications

   • Long-lasting cover solutions for public parks, outdoor platforms, and recreational areas.

Benefits:

1. Long-Lasting Performance

   • Provides extended lifespan compared to metal or concrete, especially in challenging environments.

2. Low Maintenance

   • Requires no painting or additional corrosion treatment; only periodic cleaning and inspection.

3. Enhanced Safety

   • Anti-slip surface and non-conductive properties create a safer work environment in high-risk areas.

4. Cost-Effective

   • Higher initial cost offset by reduced maintenance and replacement expenses, delivering value over time.

Installation:

1. Ease of Installation
   • Modular and lightweight design enables rapid installation with minimal labor requirements.
2. Mounting Options
   • Can be bolted or secured using brackets, clamps, or other anchoring systems.
3. Cut-to-Fit Options
   • Plates can be cut to fit specific requirements onsite or custom-sized during manufacturing.

Maintenance:

1. Cleaning
   • Routine cleaning with soap and water; resistant to most stains and surface corrosion.
2. Inspection
   • Recommended periodic inspection, especially in high-traffic or chemically exposed areas.

Warranty:

• Standard Warranty: Generally 5-10 years against manufacturing defects, with extended warranties available for demanding applications.

Compliance:

• Slip-Resistance Standards: Meets OSHA standards for slip resistance, with certification available.
• Fire Resistance Standards: Complies with Class 1 and Class 2 fire ratings where applicable.
