Industry Spotlight: Water/Wastewater
FRP applications are valued for the advantages fiberglass composites bring to the table that traditional materials such as metal or wood simply cannot. First among these are corrosion-resistance and that it will not rot. In addition, for potable water applications most products can be NSF 61 certified. What this means is a long-lasting, low-maintenance material for countless applications in submerged wet environments.
The first application of note is as ladders and handrails. FRP usually replaces metal here, and retains the required strength for the application while not succumbing to corrosion. Another notable application is as odor control covers. In wastewater applications FRP provides a light product that is strong with low thermal conductivity as well. Baffle panels are also made of FRP and are available in 12″ and 24″ widths made out of UV stable polyester resin. As with most FRP products, these baffle panels can be certified as NSF 61 safe. Lastly, don’t forget about our ability to supply a custom solution to virtually any need at your plant, for example designing and supplying a walkway over a pipe as shown in the picture.
