Wonderglas - GC
UV protected glass reinforced polyester (GRP) sheeting with a gel coated surface.
Used within a wide range of applications.
UV protected glass reinforced polyester (GRP) sheeting with a gel coated surface which has been chemically cross bonded to the sheet.
Features and benefits:
- 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).
- The highly UV resistant resins provide a high level of protection.
- Low levels of surface erosion.
- Chemically resistant.
- The gel coated sheet surface becomes an almost impenetrable barrier.
- Provides hail resistance.
- Smooth, glossy surface.
- SL, SR76 fire retardant.
- Available with a wide range of profile types.
- Available with Ampelite’s FS Firecheck fire resistant system - consult manufacturer for details.
Compliance:
Complies with the following standards:
- AS 4256:3: 2006: Plastic roof and wall cladding materials.
- AS 1562.3: 2006 Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding: Plastic.
Consult manufacturer for details on relevant test results.
