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
Stair tread flat tubes are used as the framework for platform, stair and walkway treads, suitable for humid or corrosive environments in chemical, power, water treatment, marine and other industries. The vinyl ester resin system makes them more suitable for service conditions involving contact with acid and alkali media and salt spray, and they can be combined with gratings and pultruded profiles to form a complete structure.
Selection Guide
When selecting, first determine the tread length, span and load requirements, then choose the tube cross-section size and wall thickness accordingly, and evaluate deflection based on support spacing. Different specifications offer different balances of strength and self-weight. You are welcome to contact us for detailed specifications and quotations, and our technical staff will assist in confirming the suitable model.
Product Advantages
This flat tube is pultruded with glass fiber reinforcement and vinyl ester resin, featuring light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation and non-magnetic properties. It can be cut and drilled on site, making installation and maintenance convenient. Compared with traditional metal tread materials, it offers advantages in service life in corrosive environments and requires no frequent anti-corrosion coating.
