Webglas - GC

UV protected glass reinforced polyester (GRP) sheeting with a gel coated surface and woven web mat reinforcement.

Features and benefits:

• Offers high strength and reinforcement - no safety mesh required.

• Suitable for use within highly corrosive environments.

• No delamination is possible.

• Retains light transmission, strength, and flexibility throughout the lifetime of the sheet.

• Will not lose its tensile strength or become brittle (as happens with film surface coated and polycarbonate materials).

• 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.
