Plant and Chemical Processing

Corrosion is a costly problem for the chemical processing industry. Bedford’s fiberglass-reinforced products offer a strong yet lightweight solution that won’t corrode like steel. With low maintenance over a longer life cycle, these products can save significant dollars compared to traditional building materials.

Applications

We manufacture durable, long-lasting systems including handrails, stairs, platforms, catwalks and ladders that stand up to harsh fumes and chemicals.

Advantages

  • Light weight, high strength — easier to transport and install with standard tools
  • Corrosion resistant — won’t rot or rust and absorbs minimal moisture
  • Safety — won’t spark or conduct electricity, and non-slip surfaces are available
  • Long-lasting — lower lifetime cost than traditional building materials
  • Low maintenance — molded-through color does not require painting

 

Chemical Processing Operations

Low-maintenance FRP works well in corrosive chemical plant environments. Ladders, stairs, handrails and catwalks are ideal applications for Bedford products.
