1. Customer Background
The customer is a professional chemical and marine supporting manufacturing enterprise, mainly engaged in chemical raw material processing, offshore equipment supporting and environmental protection equipment production. The factory workshop and outdoor wiring area are in harsh working environments for a long time, with chemical corrosive gas, salt fog, high humidity and strong acid-base substances.
Traditional metal cable trays such as galvanized trays and steel trays are prone to rust, corrosion, paint peeling and structural aging in corrosive environments, resulting in reduced load-bearing capacity, damaged cable protection and frequent electrical safety hazards. Regular replacement and anti-corrosion maintenance lead to high operation costs. To solve the pain points of metal tray corrosion, short service life and frequent maintenance, the customer chose BDCABLETRAY FRP Cable Tray for full-site wiring system renovation and upgrading.
2. Project Requirements
Combined with the long-term corrosive, humid and salt-fog industrial scenarios, the customer put forward strict non-corrosive, insulated and durable requirements for cable laying facilities:
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Resist acid, alkali, salt fog and chemical gas corrosion, adapt to chemical and coastal harsh environments.
- Non-conductive & Insulated Performance: Integral insulation structure to avoid electric leakage and electromagnetic conduction risks, improve electrical safety.
- Anti-aging & Long Service Life: Resist high and low temperature aging, ultraviolet radiation, long-term outdoor and indoor stable operation.
- Lightweight & High Strength: Low density and high toughness, easy for long-span installation without sagging and deformation.
- Zero Maintenance: No anti-rust painting and regular anti-corrosion treatment required, reduce later operation costs.
- Flame Retardant & Safe: Meet industrial flame retardant standards, effectively prevent fire spread and ensure wiring safety.

4. On-Site Installation & Operation Effect
Before Installation
The workshop and outdoor corridor originally used traditional galvanized steel cable trays. Affected by long-term chemical corrosive gas and coastal salt fog, the trays suffered from serious rust, surface peeling and structural corrosion. The corroded tray body reduced bearing capacity, and rust debris polluted cables, easily causing insulation damage and electric leakage risks. The enterprise needed regular anti-corrosion painting and tray replacement, resulting in high maintenance costs and unstable electrical system operation.
After Installation
After installing BDCABLETRAY FRP Cable Tray, the factory completely solves the corrosion problem of wiring facilities in harsh environments. The all-FRP integral structure has no metal parts, completely resisting acid, alkali, salt fog and chemical gas erosion, with no rust, peeling or aging phenomenon.
The inherent insulation performance eliminates electric leakage and electromagnetic interference risks, greatly improving the safety and stability of power and signal lines. The lightweight and high-strength structure is convenient for long-span overhead installation, with no deformation or sagging after long-term load operation. The excellent UV and anti-aging performance adapts to outdoor open-air exposure and high-temperature and humid workshop environment. It realizes long-term zero-maintenance operation, effectively reducing enterprise operation and maintenance costs, and the overall wiring layout is neat and standardized.
