Application:
Genius© pultruded fiberglass structural shapes from Genius Composite Inc. are used in a wide range of applications and provide a unique combination of corrosion resistance, high strength, dimensional stability and light weight, along with thermal and electric non-conductivity. Durable Genius shapes provide years of low maintenance service in areas where steel, aluminum or wood components are traditionally specified. Today ,these shapes are often used in highly corrosive applications where stainless steel and other expensive components were once required.

Application Scenarios
Cooling tower decking profiles are suitable for load-bearing platforms, maintenance walkways, and water distribution system supports inside cooling towers that remain in hot and humid environments for extended periods. The orthophthalic resin system performs reliably in corrosion resistance and water resistance, making it suitable for circulating water cooling facilities in industries such as chemicals and power generation. For advice on matching specific operating conditions, please contact us.
Selection Guide
When selecting, please consider the cooling tower's span, load requirements, and installation method, and check the profile's cross-sectional dimensions (A*T1*B*T2) and unit weight to ensure compatibility with the existing structural interface. Different resin systems (such as orthophthalic and isophthalic) differ in corrosion resistance grade. If you are unsure which type is suitable, please provide your operating conditions and we will assist in recommending a suitable type.
Product Advantages
This structural profile uses glass fiber as reinforcement and resin as matrix, formed by the pultrusion process. It features light weight and high strength, corrosion resistance, insulation, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for high-strength and larger-span applications. Compared with traditional metal decking, it supports long-term use and easier maintenance in humid and corrosive environments.
