According to the study “Europe FRP
(Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) Grating Industry Situation and Prospects Research
report”, fiber reinforced plastic density has one-fourth than
that of steel which means that, in several instances, equipment can be handled or
installed manually instead of using installing equipments. Fiber reinforced
plastics are easy to repair and do not require arc-welding in hazardous industrial
areas. Almost all variants of fiber reinforced plastic have properties and
capabilities that metals lack in terms of less cost compared to metals such as austenitic
stainless steels, high-nickel-content alloys, and titanium. The attractive
characteristics of fiber reinforced plastic are low density, offers good
strength-to-weight ratio, good thermal insulator and good electric insulator. Fiber
reinforced plastic are used in the storage of fuel oil, middle distillates, and
aliphatic hydrocarbons. Fiber reinforced plastic tanks used in various
industries are made up of isophthalic-based and terephthalic-based resins that are
recommended for storage of oil and gas products.
Fiber reinforced plastics are
reinforcing fibers in a polymer constituent or matrix available in the form of
mat, fabric, or components. Fiber reinforced plastic is also known as glass
reinforced plastic, is a modern composite material used in the construction
of chemical plant equipments such as tanks and vessels. It is a
well known composite material as it can combine widely with divergent
properties of its constituents into a unique material. Water treatment plants, waste
water treatment plants, chemical industries, and oil & gas industries are
the major consumers of fiber reinforced plastics because they are light weight,
possess superior properties of composites, low maintenance, and long product
life. Fiber reinforced plastic has replaced other costlier metals in several
industrial process equipment such as tanks, piping, duct and hood systems, and
reaction vessels. Fiber reinforced plastics used in construction of industrial
equipment is available in a wide assortment of shapes, sizes, and capacities to
meet unlimited storage and various processing needs.
Molded grating and pultruded grating are the
two types of FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating available in Europe.
Various applications of FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating in Europe are
industrial, pulp, paper, food, beverage, mining, oil, gas and others.
Geographically, FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating in Europe is spread
across Germany, Russia, UK, France, Italy and other regions. The leading
players in FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) grating in Europe are AGC Matex Co.
Ltd., Bedford Reinforced Plastics, Inc., Creative Pultrusions Inc., Delta
Composite Structures, LLC, Eurograte Fiberglass Grating, Exel Composites Oyj,
Ferrotech International FZE, Fibergrate Composite Structures Ltd., Fibrolux
GmbH, McNichols Company, Meiser GmbH, Strongwell Corporation, Suzhou Grating
Co., Ltd. (iGrid) and Techno Composites Domine GmbH.
Advanced technological developments in the
areas of sciences and nanotechnology will drive the market for fiber-reinforced
plastic grating in Europe. More consumption of FRP is recorded over the recent
years due to increasing applications that will enhance the growth of this
market over the next few years.
