Project Case SHANGHAI QIONGKAI INDUSTRY CO., LTD Facilitates Philippine Client’s FRP Cable Tray Selection for Optimal Marine Corrosion Resistance
Shanghai, China –27/3/2025– SHANGHAI Qiongkai INDUSTRY CO., LTD, a leading manufacturer of industrial cable trays management systems, has completed a strategic shipment offiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) cable trays to the Philippines via sea freight. The transaction, led by sales experts Eileen Zou and Adam Feng, demonstrated the company’s consultative approach as the client selected FRP over hot-dip galvanized (HDG) cable trays after thorough technical evaluation of maritime durability.
Client-Centric Material Advisory Service
The 25-ton consignment, destined for a coastal project, underscores QIONGKAI’s expertise in marine-grade solutions. While the client initially sought standard Cable Trays, the sales team proactively recommended two specialized options:
HDG Steel Trays: Featuring 90-130μm zinc coating, ensuring 20-35 years of rust protection.
Frp Trays: Non-metallic composite material with inherent immunity to corrosion and UV resistance.
“Maritime shipping conditions dramatically accelerate metal degradation,” explained Adam Feng, International Business Development Manager. “With high relative humidity during the 14-day voyage, even HDG-coated surfaces risk superficial rust formation. FRP eliminates this concern entirely while offering superior longevity.”
The client ultimately prioritized FRP’s permanent anti-corrosion properties and reduced installation complexity for their seaside facility.
Maritime Logistics Innovation
QIONGKAI engineered a comprehensive shipping solution to protect the FRP trays:
- Climate-Adaptive Packaging: Multi-layer barrier film
- Load Distribution: optimized container stacking reduced vibration damage
Market Trends Driving FRP Adoption
This order aligns with surging demand for non-metallic infrastructure solutions in Southeast Asia, driven by:
- Rising maintenance costs for corroded metal structures
- Growing awareness of FRP’s 50+ year service life
- Enhanced safety from non-conductive materials
“The industry is shifting from ‘cheapest first’ to ‘total cost of ownership’ evaluations,” noted Eileen Zou. “While FRP’s initial cost is 25% higher than HDG, it saves 60% in lifecycle maintenance – a decisive factor for our client.”
Technical Consultation as Competitive Edge
The client praised QIONGKAI’s transparent advisory process: “Rather than pushing a single product, they presented objective data, empowering us to make an informed choice,” stated the Philippine project director.
