Industrial Solutions

Corrosion is a major problem faced by numerous industries such as mining, smelting, wastewater management and pulp & paper. This is why anti-corrosive parts and solutions are so critical for longevity and to avoid excessive downtime. Protectolite™ has been catering to these industries for over 6 decades with our special, FRP anti-corrosion solutions. Our experts have crafted many different grades of customizable anti-corrosion sheets and laminates.

Apart from creating these parts from scratch in our Toronto facility, we also have the capability to design custom-molded parts that can replace stock-fabricated parts in various machines and structures. These parts, consequently, improve the anti-corrosive properties and physical characteristics of sheet composite materials.

Here is a comprehensive list of some of our anti-corrosion end products:

Anode and cathode spacers for electro-winning smelting and mining extraction industries.
Flanges, couplings, reducers, backup rings, and other fittings for piping systems.
Anti-corrosion siding materials and flowing panels for harsh chemical environments
Weir plates, all types of baffles, splash guards, swing arms, fill stations and FRP troughs, spill stations, and tank covers for wastewater treatment plants.

BALLISTIC SOLUTIONS

Ballistic solutions are an important part of military and tactical units, and Protectolite™ is proud to offer the best quality products in the form of ballistic sheets. Our sheets are known for their excellent bulletproof properties, which are made possible due to compression molding.

This method of manufacturing FRP products ensures a high degree of accuracy and strength, making them a ballistic-grade laminate. Hence, it is unsurprising that Protectolite™ ballistic sheets are used to enhance security in armored military vehicles. In fact, it has successfully improved the survivability of armed forces in these tactical vehicles in some of the most challenging places on the planet such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Bosnia and the Middle East.
