Applications

Durability: Reliability is essential in mining applications. ReadySeries, Ladder-In-A-Box and other FRP structural components from OSCO give you long-lasting performance that wood and steel can’t match. 

Performance: For mining applications with humidity or chemicals, FRP is corrosion- and chemical-resistant. It’s also non-sparking and nonconductive, so it lowers risk in mines that may have pockets of gas. They’re available with integrated OSHA safety yellow color, fire-resistant resins and non-slip surfaces. And, of course, FRP lasts. Pound for pound, it has the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight — all without the rust, corrosion and continuous maintenance. 

The Advantages of FRP

• Resists Corrosion — Fiberglass doesn’t warp, rust or rot, plus it absorbs little moisture.
• High Strength — Pound for pound, FRP delivers the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight.
• Easy To Install — Only standard tools are needed.
• Stable — Fiberglass doesn’t swell or shrink, ensuring dimensional stability.
• Built-In Safety Features — Nonslip surfaces are available, plus FRP is nonconductive to reduce the risk of shock. 
• Virtually Maintenance-Free — Coloring is molded throughout, so it never needs painting.
