JK Fibre Glass Works Plain FRP Base Plates | Flat Fibreglass Mounting Plates | GRP Equipment Base Plates | Corrosion-Resistant Structural Support Plates
The most dependable components are often the ones that do their job without drawing attention to themselves. The Plain FRP Base Plate is exactly that — a precisely engineered, corrosion-resistant mounting foundation that performs fl awlessly beneath rooftop ventilators, industrial equipment, and structural support systems in environments where steel corrodes, concrete cracks, and ordinary materials give way.
The Engineering Case for FRP
A base plate distributes the weight and dynamic forces of mounted equipment across the supporting structure - maintaining a stable, secure interface across the full service life of the installation. When that substrate is a monsoon-exposed rooftop, a chemical plant fl oor, or a coastal structure, material selection becomes critical. Steel corrodes; galvanised steel corrodes more slowly but still fails, expanding corrosion product loosening fasteners and compromising the assembly. Mild steel base plates in outdoor industrial environments frequently need replacement within three to fi ve years. Plain FRP Base Plates from JK Fibre Glass Works do not corrode - ever. No coating to maintain, no rust to treat, no degradation cycle to manage. Specifying FRP is not a premium. It is the elimination of a lifecycle cost.
Construction & Supply Options
Manufactured by hand lay-up or press-moulded construction with fully wet-out fi breglass reinforcement consolidated to eliminate voids. Supplied with a smooth, resin-rich surface fi nish ready for direct installation — no grinding, painting, or preparation required. Pigmented gelcoat available for UV-stable exterior fi nish. Thickness from 6mm to 25mm and above. Standard rectangular and square formats or custom dimensions, cut-outs, and drilled fastener patterns to drawing or sample. Resin options: isophthalic polyester for standard service, vinyl ester for aggressive chemical environments, epoxy for critical and high-adhesion applications.
Applications
Rooftop ventilator mounting on fl at and waterproofed concrete terraces. Industrial equipment mounting — pumps, blowers, motors, and instruments in corrosive or high-moisture environments, with inherent electrical isolation between metallic equipment and grounded structures. Anti-corrosion isolation pads beneath steel tank legs, pipe supports, and equipment frames contacting concrete or dissimilar metals. Structural load distribution beneath storage tanks, pressure vessels, and elevated platforms. Marine and coastal installations where saline atmosphere would destroy steel in months. Electrical switchgear and panel mounting requiring non-conductive, dimensionally precise bases. Bearing pads and damp-proof isolation layers in building and civil infrastructure.
Why FRP Over Alternatives
Approximately one-quarter the weight of equivalent steel with no reduction in load capacity. Immune to the chemical attack that degrades galvanised coatings in coastal and industrial atmospheres. Dimensionally stable under sustained load - unlike rubber pads that creep and elastomers that degrade under UV and solvents. Does not absorb moisture or support biological attack, unlike timber in wet industrial conditions. Manufactured to your dimensional specifi cation and load requirement. Supplied to industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects across India and exported internationally. Preferred by contractors, OEM manufacturers, and EPC procurement teams who require a reliable supply partner - not just a vendor.
