Can also be used for structural daylighting or as walkable panels.

Description

Webglas GC is a resin based sheet that is particularly suited to aggressive and highly corrosive environments.


Features and benefits:

  • Offers high strength and reinforcement - no safety mesh required.
  • No delamination.
  • Retains light transmission, strength, and flexibility throughout the lifetime of the sheet.
  • Will not lose its tensile strength or become brittle
  • Corrosion resistant and will not rust.
  • Impervious to water, vapours and gases.
  • The highly UV resistant resins provide a high level of protection (99.9%).
  • Low levels of surface erosion.
  • The gel coated sheet surface becomes an almost impenetrable barrier.
  • If cleaned regularly, the sheeting retains its original bright appearance long-term.
  • Compliant with the requirements of Class 2 to Class 9 buildings of the Building Code of Australia.
  • Maintenance free.
  • Available with a wide range of profile types and colours (translucent or opaque).
  • Available with Ampelite’s FS Firecheck fire resistant system - consult manufacturer for details.

Compliance:

Complies with the following standards:

  • AS/NZS 1170.2 Structural design actions.
  • AS/NZS 3837 Methods of test for heat and smoke release rates for materials and products using oxygen consumption calorimeter.
  • AS 4256.3 Plastic roof and wall cladding materials.
  • AS 1562.3 Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding: Plastic.
