Shipbuilding across Europe and South Korea is accelerating the shift away from traditional steel toward advanced marine composites, driven by tighter emissions rules, stricter fire safety requirements, and a focus on lowering long-term operational costs.

Fiberglass-reinforced phenolic composites stand out as a proven alternative for marine walkways, deck grating, access platforms, and offshore secondary structures. Unlike steel, phenolic FRP resists saltwater corrosion, chemical attack and UV degradation — eliminating rust, periodic painting and heavy maintenance downtime. Its core advantage for vessel and offshore projects is excellent fire performance: low flame spread and low smoke density, aligned with SOLAS and DNV standards, critical for passenger vessels, offshore energy units and naval applications.

Lightweight construction directly benefits ship designers. Phenolic molded grating weighs roughly one-third of equivalent steel, reducing deadweight, improving fuel efficiency and simplifying on-site installation without heavy lifting equipment. Anti-slip surface options are available for wet, oily marine decks to enhance crew safety.

Our upgraded molding production line delivers consistent, custom-sized phenolic FRP grating, ready for shipyards, offshore platforms and marine newbuild or retrofit projects in Europe and South Korea. All products can be supplied with full test documentation, including fire and load reports to support class approval.

The next generation of ships demands materials that balance safety, durability and sustainability. Composite solutions are no longer a niche option — they are a practical, cost-effective choice for modern marine engineering.
