Overview
Maximum Protection Against Corrosion
Our Corrosion Resistant Handrails offer the ultimate solution for industrial facilities plagued by rust and chemical degradation. Manufactured using advanced pultrusion technology, these FRP handrails combine high structural strength with exceptional resistance to corrosive agents, making them ideal for chemical plants, marine facilities, wastewater treatment plants, and food processing environments.
The proprietary resin matrix, available in vinyl ester, polyester, or fire-retardant formulations, is specially formulated to resist attack from over 300 chemical agents. Unlike aluminum or stainless steel handrails that can suffer from pitting, crevice corrosion, or stress corrosion cracking, our FRP handrails remain completely unaffected by chlorides, sulfates, and acidic environments.
Designed for both retrofit and new construction projects, our corrosion resistant handrail systems are 70% lighter than steel equivalents, reducing installation costs and structural load requirements. The modular design allows for rapid field assembly with simple bolt-together connections, eliminating the need for welding or hot work permits.

Features
Features & Benefits
Core Features
Key features that set our FRP products apart from traditional materials.
Total Corrosion Immunity
Impervious to rust, rot, and chemical attack. Will not pit, corrode, or degrade in marine, chemical, or industrial environments where metals fail within months.
Lowest Lifecycle Cost
No painting, coating, or replacement needed for decades. Total cost of ownership is 40-60% lower than galvanized steel or stainless steel over 25-year service life.
Lightweight Installation
At 70% lighter than steel, installation requires no cranes or heavy lifting equipment. Modular bolt-together design eliminates welding and hot work permits.
ADA Compliant Design
Available with ADA-compliant 1.25-1.5 inch grip diameter handrails and continuous gripping surfaces for accessibility compliance in public facilities.
Customizable Configurations
Straight runs, 90-degree bends, stair railings, and custom angles available. Can be field-cut and modified to fit any layout or site condition.
Global Compliance Certified
Meets OSHA, ANSI A1264.1, and EN 14122-3 international safety standards for global project use.
