Overview
Key advantages of the innovative material SMC/GRP:
- Shatterproof and extremely resistant to abrasion
- Frost, heat and rust-resistant
- Lightweight
- Non-porous structure with a smooth surface
- Resistant to chemicals
- Resistant to oil, gasoline, hot asphalt and tartaric acid
- Non-flammable
- Free of halogens, asbestos and toxic heavy metals
- Capable of being formed into complex shapes
- An excellent cost / performance material
- Recyclable
Pro-Plus System Features
- Channel Body and edge made entirely in innovatice SMC/GRB.
- Innovative STARFIX Grate Securing System Simplifies installation and Maintenence.
- Optimized channel shape ensures improved discharge rates even for low water levels and enhanced self-cleaning effect.
- Large fins molded into the whole exterior of the channel ensure permanent anchorage in concrete.
- Installation Brackets connects channels together and provides locating holes and securing screws for the re-bar supports.
- Low cost - Easy to install
- Innovative 4-point locking inside the channel body for a solid and secure fit, without any loose or rattling parts.
- Protection against longitudinal displacement of grate covers
- Long service life--has no moving parts or parts subject to wear.
- No reduction of the discharge cross section, as the complete channel cross section remains unobstructed.
- Simple and fast insertion and removal of grates with a single hand movement?without the need for special tools.
- Particularly smooth and quiet, thanks to the sound-absorbing securing system

MATERIAL MATERIAL MATERIAL !
Strong, shock and impact resistant, dimensionally stable
MEA-JOSAM's Pro-Plus range of new generation trench drains
utilizes the benefits of space-age material. Pro-Plus is
manufactured using glass-fiber reinforced polyester (GRP)
pressed from sheet molding compound (SMC), which is a
composite of polyester resin, mineral fillers and glass-fiber
mats.
Extraordinarily robust and yet surprisingly light these
diverse properties highlight the advantages of SMC/GRP over
other trench drain materials. The material has
revolutionized many industrial products and has become indispensable
in today's world. Its applications are
wide and varied: rotor blades for
helicopters, bodywork for automobiles, yachts and aircraft. In fact,
glass-fiber reinforced polyester made
from SMC is used wherever extreme
conditions prevail and special degrees
of durability and rigidity are called for,
precisely as in MEA-JOSAM's Pro-Plus
drainage solutions.
SMC is a tried and tested GRP material
and is a compelling choice because
of its extremely high strength and
dimensional stability. For example,
SMC/GRP is more than 1.5 times
stronger than polymer concrete.
In addition, SMC/GRP?s thermal
expansion on average is 40% less
than that of polymer concrete. These
SMC/GRP material characteristics
result in extreme rigidity and only
minimal longitudinal expansion, even
for wide temperature fluctuations.
In contrast to thermoplastic polymers,
SMC/GRP cannot be reshaped and
remains dimensionally stable once
heated compression hardens the
material into the final product.
This product is lighter, stronger and
expands and contracts in extreme
temperature ranges less than polymer
concrete. In addition, SMC/GRP has
greater compressive, flexural and
tensile strength and less thermal
expansion properties than either
polypropylene or high density poly-
ethylene. SMC/GRP is an innovative
material and is clearly superior to all
other trench channel materials.
