What is a fiberglass cover plate? What are its characteristics? As the name suggests, a fiberglass cover plate is a cover plate made of fiberglass. Although its strength is not as good as some metal covers, its corrosion resistance is far superior to metal covers. In terms of load-bearing capacity, it is far superior to wooden and plastic cover plates, and its design and safety performance are also far superior to the above-mentioned cover plates.
What is a fiberglass cover plate? What are its characteristics?
As the name suggests,fiberglass cover plateis a cover plate made of glass fiber. Although its strength is not as good as some metal covers, its corrosion resistance is far superior to metal covers. In terms of load-bearing capacity, it is far superior to wooden and plastic cover plates, and its design and safety performance are also far superior to the above several cover plates.
In various occasions, the types of covers used mainly include fiberglass covers, metal covers, wooden covers, plastic covers, and stone covers. Of course, the performance and application locations of these five different materials are different. Let's learn about the relevant knowledge of fiberglass covers.fiberglass cover plateClassification:
1. Trench cover plate
Trench cover plates are widely usedfiberglass cover plate，such as ordinary trench cover plates, trench cover plates, sewer cover plates, etc., with superior performance, light weight, high strength, and wear resistance. The surface of the fiberglass cover plate will undergo certain anti-slip and wear-resistant treatment.
2. Cable trench cover plate
Strictly speaking, cable trench cover plates are also a type of trench cover plate, but compared with general trench cover plates, their production requirements are relatively higher. First, the requirements for its performance, non-conductivity is the primary condition, and then the installation requirements are very high, and the sealing needs to meet the specified requirements.
3. Fiberglass grating cover plate
Compared with the above two types, the application range of grating cover plates is smaller. The main reason is that fiberglass gratings are used instead of grating cover plates. There is no need to choose grating cover plates with extra manufacturing processes. For example, fiberglass reinforced plastic covers for swimming pools and platform walkways are common.
Characteristics of fiberglass cover plates:
1. Good wear resistance and anti-slip performance: Anti-slip and wear-resistant treatment will be carried out during the manufacturing process. Its anti-slip and wear-resistant performance is far superior to general metal cover plates, wooden cover plates, plastic cover plates, etc. The anti-slip and wear-resistant treatment of fiberglass cover plates will be introduced in detail in the following chapters.
2. Good sealing performance and high safety: Compared with metal cover plates with poor corrosion resistance and wooden cover plates with poor material, the sealing performance of fiberglass cover plates is excellent. This utility model has the advantages of non-conductivity, non-conductivity, and high corrosion resistance.
3. High temperature resistance and strong flame retardancy: All fiberglass products have strong flame retardancy, mainly because of the resin raw materials used to make fiberglass products. Although the types of resins are different, they can be divided into many types, but high temperature resistance is one of the necessary characteristics of each resin.
4. Excellent aging resistance and corrosion resistance: Aging is also a manifestation of corrosion, which can be more accurately expressed as chronic corrosion. For example, humid air is a chronic corrosion environment. Metal cover plates will slowly corrode after being placed in humid air for a long time, which is commonly known as rust.
5. Long service life and high economic benefits: The general service life of fiberglass cover plates is more than 50 years. The service life of metal cover plates is only about 5 years, and the service life of wooden cover plates is only about 3 years.
