Fibreglass Anti-Slip Strip

Our FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) anti-slip strips, also known as fibreglass anti-slip strips, feature a slightly curved top surface for comfort underfoot. It is slip-resistant, durable, and low-maintenance. It is easy to cut to length, fast to install, and a cost-effective solution for upgrading any surface, including walkways, ramps, steps, and landings in industrial, commercial, and municipal applications.

Resin Types

We offer various anti-slip grit finishes designed to match your environment:
Fine Grit (125-210 µm | Approximately P120–P80 to FEPA Classification): Barefoot-friendly and comfortable underfoot, perfect for public walkways, aquatic areas, schools, and anywhere people may be in lighter footwear or barefoot.
Medium Grit (600 µm | Approximately P40 to FEPA Classification): The trusted choice for general, commercial, and industrial use, providing reliable slip resistance in workshops, plants, and high-traffic areas.
With both options, you get the right balance of safety, comfort, and performance.

Water Absorption Testing

Testing was carried out by SGS. in accordance with ASTM D570-22 on our moulded FRP products manufactured using ISO and VE resin systems.

Test Conditions:

Dried at 50 ± 2 °C for 24 h
Soaked in water at:

  • 23 °C for 24 h
  • 100 °C for 2 h
  • 50 °C for 48 h

Measured Water Absorption (%):

Condition

             Sample A

                              Sample B

                          Assessment

23 °C / 24 h

             0.17 %

                              0.09 %

                          Excellent resistance – negligible absorption

100 °C / 2 h

             0.49 %

                              0.47 %

                          High stability – minimal uptake under heat

50 °C / 48 h

             0.52 %

                              0.71 %

                          Strong retention – remains below 1 % threshold

Interpretation:
Results demonstrate consistently low water absorption across all temperature and duration tests, confirming a dense, well-cured laminate structure.
Moisture uptake remained below 1 %, supporting dimensional accuracy, mechanical reliability, and long-term surface integrity.
Performance levels are within the expected range for high-grade structural FRP composites and trend toward the lower end of typical absorption values, indicating slightly improved resistance compared with standard industry benchmarks.

 

Low-VOC Pigment

Our colour system utilises a polyester-based pigment dispersion that chemically bonds within the FRP matrix, rather than just coating it. This 100 % solids, low-VOC formulation delivers cleaner processing, longer-lasting colour, and superior UV stability compared to solvent-borne alternatives. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to colour FRP.

Electrical Insulation Testing

Testing was carried out by SGS in accordance with ASTM D495-22 and ASTM D149-20 on our FRP moulded products manufactured using ISO and VE resin systems.

Test Conditions:

  • Dry Arc Resistance (ASTM D495-22)
     • Arcing voltage: 12.5 kV • Electrode gap: 6.35 mm • Environment: 23 °C / 50 % RH
  • Dielectric Breakdown (ASTM D149-20)
     • Transformer oil medium • Voltage rise: 3000 V/s • Frequency: 50 Hz

Measured Electrical Performance:

Property

      Sample A (ISO resin)

                       Sample B (VE resin)

              Assessment

Arc Resistance Time (s)

      182.5 s

                       146.2 s

              Excellent surface insulation – high resistance to tracking

Dielectric Strength (kV/mm)

      15.6 kV/mm

                       12.5 kV/mm

              Strong electrical barrier – stable under high voltage

Interpretation:

Results confirm both resin systems deliver high-grade electrical insulation consistent with the requirements of ASTM D495 and D149.
The ISO-resin laminate achieved the highest overall performance, showing extended arc-resistance duration and greater dielectric strength, indicating a dense, well-cross-linked matrix with minimal conductive pathways.
The VE-resin laminate also exhibited strong insulating capability, remaining well within the range expected for premium structural FRP composites.

Electrical performance across both systems supports their suitability for installations requiring high-voltage isolation, reduced surface tracking, and long-term reliability in wet or industrial environments.
