Type IFR-25 provides an intermediate level of chemical resistance and is the correct resin choice for grating subjected to splash and spill contact with harsh chemicals, and is a very good general purpose resin at a reduced cost compared to the premium vinyl ester resin.

Type CFR-25 is an orthophthalic polyester resin with a flame spread rating of 25 or less providing moderate chemical resistance. This grating is perfect for use in water/wastewater applications, light industrial applications, and in the wavezone areas of offshore platforms where the environment is moderate. Although Type CFR-25 is the least chemical resistant resin, it still offers superior performance to traditional flooring products such as steel, aluminum and wood, and is the most economical resin available.
