Materials of Construction The outer pultruded fiberglass structure has available skins of either an isophthalic polyester or vinyl ester resin, both of which are flame retardant (UL94 VO). Vinyl ester is used in more corrosive applications.
Both resins feature a synthetic surfacing veil ncorporated into the skin which improves weathering, corrosion resistance and resistance to degradation from ultraviolet rays. Applying a polyurethane paint improves weathering resistance for extreme applicaions.
The foam inside the FRP is a rigid closed-cell urethane foam. This foam core provides an insulation "R" factor of 7 for the 1" panel and 21 for the 3" panel.
Sizes Foam core panel standard sizes are 1" x 12" and 3" x 24". Panels can be manufactured in longer lengths upon request, typically 12 to 32 feet. |

DURASHIELD HC® Hollow Core Building Panels These panels are similar to the foam core panels, except that they're hollow. They provide a cost-effective alternative to DURASHIELD®. FRP Hollow core panels are useful for flooring, enclosures, roofing or screening applications that do not require insulation. Panels are designed with the quick-assembly tongue-and-groove system for rapid installation. The panels feature a hollow core with intermediate ribs to provide rigidity for uses like decking, cladding or tank covers. Once panels are installed they can be bonded together with standard adhesives and attached to structural shapes with bolts or screw fasteners. These standard polyester panels will not rot, rust or mildew, which makes them ideal for high moisture environments including saltwater.

 Materials of ConstructionThe surface of the hollow core fiberglass panels features a synthetic veil incorporated into the surface to improve weathering, corrosion and UV resistance. Polyester is the standard resin system, with options to upgrade to a vinyl ester resin for highly corrosive applications. Both resin systems include flame retardants and meet the requirements of a Class 1 flame spread per ASTM E84 and the self-extinguishing requirements of ASTM D-635. The panel weighs 3.27lbs/linear ft.
Sizes Hollow Core Fiberglass Panels are available in standard 1" x 12" panels, and can be manufactured at longer lengths upon request.
