A full-color 10-page brochure on its Kordek® fiberglass grating is available from International Grating, Inc. of Houston. The manufacturer claims that it has been proven tougher than steel in both flexure strength and impact strength. Containing at least 60 percent glass by weight, Kordek is said to have as much as double the strength of ordinary fiberglass gratings.
Because it is rustproof and lightweight, Kordek fiberglass grating is suitable for offshore applications. In the severest salt spray, it will last the life of the platform or drilling vessel, the manufacturer states. One-third the weight of steel grating, it reduces the structure weight, thereby increasing the amount of weight that can be stored on deck.
