GatorGrate is a one-piece, reinforced polyester or vinylester (FRP) grating, available in standard panels and sizes. It is manufactured by interweaving continuous, thoroughly wetted, fiberglass strand with thermosetting resin systems. Standard panels are available in four resin systems, two top surface configurations, four panel sizes and five standard grid patterns. Typical applications include floor systems, walkways, work platforms, stairs, ramps, trench covers and catwalks. GatorGrate has been successfully used in many industries - including food processing, beverage, chemical processing, water & wastewater treatment, metal finishing, pulp/paper, transportation, pharmaceutical, textile, oil/gas and mining/smelting/refining.

Standard Resin Systems
Standard GatorGrate resin systems are made from premium grade resins. The three standard resin systems are:

PFR: Polyester resin system with Class 1 fire retardancy, per ASTM E-84. Moderate corrosion resistance.

IFR - Premium grade Isophthalic Polyester resin system with Class 1 fire retardancy, per ASTM E-84. Excellent corrosion resistance.

PFR & IFR Resin systems meet USDA standards for
incidental food contact.

Available Colors For PFR & IFR are green, yellow, dark
grey, & light gray.

VFR - Vinyl Ester resin system with Class 1 fire retardancy, per ASTM E-84. For maximum corrosion resistance in Seasafe's standard resin systems, specify VFR.

Available colors: orange & dark gray.

Other resin sytems and colors are available on special order. All GatorGrate resin systems incorporate an ultraviolet (UV) inhibitor.

Available Top Surfaces

Grit top - integral, embedded silica sand, to a nominal depth of 3/16”

Meniscus - concave, half-moon cross section

Applied Grit - epoxy grit bonded to meniscus top panels
