Manufacturing

ISO 9002 quality product is what our customers receive when

they purchase Delta Composites molded and pultruded gratings,

DeltaGrate HS (High Strength) and DeltaSpan, respectively. All of

our fiberglass structural products are manufactured in a world

class manufacturing facility to the same high standard of

excellence. Our products incorporate only the highest quality resins and glass and other

proprietary manufacturing techniques. For example, let's take our DeltaGrate HS Molded

Grating product. This product incorporates proprietary manufacturing techniques allowing

for more glass content to be achieved, greatly enhancing the stiffness of the grating panel.

Compare the stiffness of DeltaGrate to other manufacturer's molded gratings, and the

difference is obvious. Delta's gratings and other structural fiberglass products are offered

in a variety of specially formulated resins meeting our customer’s specific service

environments.

Engineering & In-house Capabilities

Delta Composites' engineering and drafting capabilities are

unsurpassed in the structural fiberglass industry. Delta has

developed a 3-dimensional, structural finite-element analysis

computer design program, incorporating the industry-accepted

fiberglass allowable stress design formulas. Delta's structural

engineers can perform 3-D structural analysis of any fiberglass

structure, steel structure or concrete structure. With this

modification to incorporate the structural fiberglass equations,

to our knowledge, Delta Composites is the only structural

fiberglass engineering consultant/fabricator in the world to have

such an engineering tool. This structural design program

performs stress and deflection calculations, plots of deflections,

forces, stresses, reactions, etc., as well as resizing over-stressed

fiberglass members. Delta Composites is committed to

producing the most optimum structural design for all of its engineered systems.

Our in-house customer service personnel are product knowledgeable, customer friendly,

and there to assist our customer, with quotations, technical responses, project status

reports, and other questions they may have.

PullMoldedTM Grating Conventional pultruded gratings supplied by all other manufacturers, including our

DeltaSpanTM, requires holes to be drilled in the longitudinal bearing bars to permit the

insertion of the locking tie-bars. Delta Composites has a patent pending design of a

pultruded grating which is assembled without drilling holes in the bearing bars to allow for

the tie-bar system. Question: From a structural engineering standpoint, what happens

when a hole is drilled in a beam? Answer: Shear area and moment of inertia are lost, and

possible corrosion cells are generated if the holes are not properly sealed, resulting in a

loss of strength and possible corrosion degradation. With our new patent pending design,

no holes are drilled, thus no shear area is lost, no moment of inertia is lost and a stronger

and more corrosion resistant pultruded grating is achieved.

Delta Fiberglass Structural Products

Molded Grating In an independent and unbiased study by the University of Mississippi,

performed to measure the stiffness of the various molded grating products

available in the marketplace, DeltaGrateTM HS

Molded Grating (High Strength) finished in first

place, ahead of all other open top molded grating

manufacturers. This first place ranking is the direct result

of the ISO 9002 manufacturing process and other proprietary

manufacturing techniques which provide for an average

glass content of 38-40% by weight, far exceeding the

competition which averages around 28-32% glass content

by weight.

DeltaGrateTM products are manufactured with American-made

Ashland and/or Dow resins and come in a variety of resin systems to meet any service

environment. From orthophthalic polyesters to vinyl esters, from non-fire retardant to

phenolic resins, DeltaGrateTM HS Molded Grating is manufactured to meet our customers'

specific needs. Although DeltaGrate grating is manufactured in standard colors, custom

colors are available.

DeltaGrateTM is manufactured in a variety of grating thicknesses and panel sizes, thus

providing optimum utilization efficiencies. DeltaGrateTM HS Molded Grating is the solution.

Pultruded GratingDeltaSpanTM Pultruded Grating product offers excellent

unidirectional strength and excellent corrosion resistance.

DeltaSpanTM is provided in isophthalic polyester resins, vinyl

ester resins, and phenolic resins, and offered in a variety of

bearing bar pro-files, and bearing bar spacing. DeltaSpanTM

has been developed to meet specific requirements, whether it

be a water park swimming pool, a petrochemical plant, or an

offshore production platform. DeltaSpanTM is your solution.

Ladder SystemsDelta Composites has engineered and offers two

basic ladder systems. Our Standard Fiberglass

Ladder offers the necessary rigidity and safety when

structural stand-off supports are capable of being

provided at regular and close intervals. However, in

some cases, stand-off supports can not be provided

at regular intervals, thus requiring the ladder to span

much longer distances. In order to comply with OSHA

standards for ladder safety and design, Delta offers

our Stiffened Ladder to meet these needs. All Delta

Ladders are designed for ease of fabrication and

installation, while offering the maximum in corrosion resistance. Of course, all ladder

systems are equipped with safety cages when required.

Handrails SystemsHandrails systems are offered in one of four system designs by

Delta Composites. Delta Composites manufactures our Heavy

Duty Handrail System, our Standard Duty Handrail System, our

Light Duty Handrail System, and our Offshore "Wave-Zone"

Handrail System. All systems exceed OSHA requirements for

handrail systems. While some provide much stronger resistance

to loading conditions, all of Delta's handrail systems offer

corrosion resistant and maintenance free service at a competitive

price. Choose from one of these Delta handrail systems,

depending upon the severity of the service environment.All Delta Ladders are

designed for ease of

fabrication and installation,

while offering the maximum

in corrosion resistance.

All systems exceed OSHA

requirements for handrail

systems.

Structural ShapesDelta Composites offers a wide range of fiberglass structural shapes, marketed

as DeltaShapesTM. These fiberglass shapes are offered in isophthalic

polyester resins and vinyl ester resins, but can also be provided in acrylics

and phenolics. Wide flanged beams, I-beams, angles, channels, square and

round tubes, solid shapes, custom shapes, threaded rod, nuts, and other

FRP products are provided as a complete and comprehensive alternative to

conventional steel, wood and aluminum construction. Because DeltaShapesTM

are lightweight, electrically and thermally non-conductive, and corrosion

resistant, they are fast becoming the construction material of choice in many

applications.

Delta Composites

offers complete

engineered,

fabricated, and

installed fiberglass

structures, handrail

systems, ladders

and grating.

Stair TreadsDelta Composites' molded DeltaTreadTM panels provide a safe

and cost effective alternative to conventional steel stair treads.

With a solid and gritted nosing, the DeltaTreadTM stair tread is

corrosion resistant, slip resistant, and due to the mold design,

is much stronger than other fiberglass stair treads. Fabricated

molded square mesh treads and pultruded stair treads are also

available.

Stair Tread CoverDelta Composites manufactures fiberglass stair tread covers to be installed typically over

existing steel stair treads. For use as a safety product, these fiberglass stair tread covers

provide an efficient and cost effective solution to slippery and unsafe stairways. Delta

can also manufacture fluorescent stair tread covers, increasing nighttime visibility and

safety.

Molded Plate Delta Composites currently offers two types of molded and skid-resistant molded plates.

Our gritted plate, known as DeltaPlateTM, and our checkered-type non-skid plate, known

as DeltaCheckTM, are provided in a variety of thicknesses and resin systems. Intended for

use over an existing frame in an after-market application, or for incorporation into a new

structural system requiring solid plating, DeltaPlateTM and DeltaCheckTM offer the same

structural service as conventional steel plate without the corrosion and at about 1/3rd

the weight. Looking at an odor control application in a waste water treatment plant or at

an oil and gas related drilling mud-pit application, DeltaPlateTM and DeltaCheckTM

products provide the structural and safety integrity our customers require.

Covered Plate Grating Delta Composites bonds our DeltaPlateTM or DeltaCheckTM to the top of our molded and

pultruded gratings to create a solid walking surface with 25%-35% higher stiffness. These

products are known as Covered DeltaGrateTM and Covered DeltaSpanTM. Both are available

with gritted, checkered, or smooth surfaces. The standard plate thickness is 1/8";

however, plates of varying thicknesses are available by custom order.

Other ProductsDelta Composites product offering does not stop here. We supply:

• Circular banded grating

• DeltaScreenTM grating panels

• Delta Mini-meshTM grating

• Grating fasteners

• Modular handrail systems

• And many, many others

Fabrication and Installation Services

Delta Composites' staff of experienced engineers, drafters,

project managers, fabrication specialists and installation

technicians allow us the opportunity to provide to our customer,

full and complete turn-key services — design, fabrication and

installation services.

Our engineers are equipped with the state-of-the-art structural

design software. Our experienced staff of fabricators and

installers produce professional, on-time fiberglass installations.

Our engineering staff possesses an average of 20 years design

experience. Our staff has successfully completed over 8,000

projects, justifying our customers trust in our ability to service

your needs. Delta Composites is the "measuring stick" by which

other fiberglass companies monitor their progress.

It is typically true that steel structural components are less expensive at the initial cost

stage; however, Delta's fiberglass alternatives prove to be the most economical option

over the long term. In general, the cost of maintaining the steel structural system,

coupled with the initial installation and material costs, far exceeds the cost of the

fiberglass system.

Delta's fiberglass structures and systems are lighter in weight and are more easily

installed than its comparable steel counterparts. Studies reflect that a fiberglass

structure will weigh typically half the weight of the steel system, and will perform to

the same “load — response” criteria.
