American Grating, LLC

Booth 7071

Phenolic Model Grating: The deepwater offshore oil industry is becoming a huge market for fiberglass composite materials, namely grating and handrail systems. The offshore industry is already purchasing large quantities of composite deck gratings used for this purpose and the growth potential is rapidly increasing. Molded Phenolic Grating, with U.S. Coast Guard Level 2 and 3 certification to be used as decking on offshore platforms. Currently, only pultruded phenolic grating is being manufactured and used on offshore platforms. The benefits of molded grating are that it is in a one-piece construction, allowing circular or penetration tube cut-outs without losing the structural integrity of the grating (unlike pultruded grating). It has much greater impact resistance than pultruded grating, withstanding heavy weight items dropping on the grating without cracking. It also offers better corrosion resistance, as it is constructed in one piece, with no joints.
