Fire resistance
Sui Generis GRP Grating has been tested in accordance with the ASTM E–84 tunnel test. Depending on the resin type it achieves a Class 1 flame spread rating of between 5–25 or less. Test reports are available on request. Special fire retardant requirements can also be met with extra additives.
Resin system

All of the raw materials are carefully selected from qualified suppliers to ensure the excellent quality of Sui Generis Fibreglass Grating.
Grating Type |
Fire Rating & Operating Temperature |
Application |
Type O Orthophthalic Polyester resin |
Fire retardant, flame spread rating ASTM E84 Class 1, 25 or less, operating temperature -50°C to +100°C. | For use in water/wastewater or air-ageing applications, light industrial applications and in the wavezone areas of offshore platforms where the environment is moderate. Although Type O is the least chemical resistant resin it still offers superior performance to traditional flooring products such as steel, aluminum and wood and is the most economical resin available. |
Type I Isophthalic Polyester |
Fire retardant, flame spread rating ASTM E84 Class 1, 25 or less, operating temperature -50°C to +105°C. | For use in the environments of middle concentration inorganic acid, inorganic alkali, etc. |
Type F Food grade Polyester resin |
Fire retardant, operating temperature -50°C to +105°C. | Often used in food plants or water treatment plants. |
Type V Vinyl Ester |
Fire retardant, flame spread rating ASTM E84 Class 1, 25 or less, operating temperature -50°C to +110°C. |

Type HV High flame resistant Vinyl Ester |
Enhanced fire retardant, flame spread rating ASTM E84 Class 1, 10 or less, operating temperature -50°C to +110°C. Grating has passed assessment by ABS (American Bureau of Shipping). |
Environments with serious corrosion requiring better flame resistance. |
Type P Phenolic resin |
Low smoke and superior fire resistance, flame spread rating ASTM E84 Class 1, 5 or less, smoke developed index zero, operating temperature up to 180°C. |
