Fire resistance

Fire is a hazard that affects all industries, but in some places, such as oil rigs, fire presents a much more serious threat. In situation where iron or steel might lose integrity due to extreme heat, GRP maintains its structural stability and ensures sustained durability. It has a higher threshold of heat resistance, making it a much safer option for certain situations. The reason for this, as with its chemical resistance, lies in its structure. The molecular structure of glass reinforced plastics means that it is able to withstand forces like heat that would weaken and compromise other materials. for this purpose, these types of materials and products follow the ASTM_D635 standard (UL94, Grade HB), hence using GRP Fire-Resistant products can be the solution of preventing this hazard.
