Pharmaceutical
Why Pharmaceutical Needs FRP
Pharmaceutical manufacturing demands materials that never shed particles, resist aggressive cleaning agents and maintain a sterile-friendly surface. FRP grating delivers — non-shedding, chemically inert, and easy to sanitize.- GMP compliance for contact surfaces
- Aggressive CIP/SIP cleaning chemicals
- Particle shedding from painted steel
- Corrosion in utility and utility-adjacent areas

Maintenance platforms and catwalks over HVAC plant and mechanical services.
Lightweight mezzanine floors and rack-access platforms for storage areas.
Technical Specifications & Compliance
Application-specific engineering reference for Pharmaceutical — corrosion rating, load criteria, governing codes and the recommended ZeAllgrate configuration. Use this as the specification starting point; final design must be verified against certified load/span charts and the project's governing codes.
| Parameter | Specification for Pharmaceutical |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Level | Medium–High Aggressive CIP/SIP cleaning agents, solvent vapors in processing zones, and particle-shedding limits in GMP areas. |
| Typical Load Requirements | Cleanroom/mezzanine pedestrian 50–75 psf (2.4–3.6 kN/m²); utility & equipment platforms 100 psf (4.8 kN/m²); point loads for skids and carts. |
| Applicable Standards & Regulations | FDA 21 CFR Parts 210/211 (cGMP), EU GMP Annex 1 (sterile manufacture), ISO 14644 (cleanroom classification), USP <87>/<88> (where extractables matter), OSHA 1910.22. |
| Recommended Resin System | ZeAll FDA smooth, non-shedding grade for classified areas; ZeAll VE for solvent & aggressive CIP zones; all surfaces must be cleanable and low-particulate. |
| Recommended Grating Type | Molded 38.1 mm covered/smooth-top for cleanroom mezzanines; Pultruded structural profiles for utility corridors; avoid open mesh in Grade A/B areas — specify solid covers. |
Resin systems: ZeAll VE (vinyl ester — severe corrosion), ZeAll ISO (isophthalic polyester — general service), ZeAll FDA (food/potable grade), ZeAll FR (extra flame-retardant), Phenolic (fire/smoke-critical). Grating types: Molded (bi-directional), Pultruded (long-span), Mini-Mesh (fine openings), HLC (high-load capacity).
Pharma Service Requirements
| Requirement | ZeAllgrate Response |
|---|---|
| Cleanroom & controlled areas | Non-conductive, low-shedding construction |
| Cleaning / sanitising chemistry | Resin matched to the cleaning list |
| Corrosive utilities | Vinyl ester for acid and solvent contact |
| Slip resistance | Grit-top on wet processing platforms |
Specification Guidance
Pharma platforms combine cleanroom discipline with corrosive utilities: specify non-conductive grating for equipment and mezzanine platforms, smooth covered surfaces where low shedding matters, vinyl ester where acids and solvents store or flow, and grit-top on the wet washdown decks. Verify the cleaning and sanitising chemicals against the resin chart — a single incompatible sanitiser can shorten panel life. The case library documents a pharma cleanroom HVAC platform installation.
