Techglass® Sheets
Long service life
A very long service life can be expected, since they are not attacked by UV rays, do not age and do not corrode, so they need no maintenance or paint schemes.
High strength
Techglass® Tt600SR sheets are manufactured by pultrusion in Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite.
They are designed according to ASTM D 3841, which considers the high flexibility of this material.
Their high natural resilience allows them to withstand large deformations due to temporary loads such as wind. When the load is removed, the sheets return to their original position. This does not happen with traditional metal sheets, which collapse under less than half the load, while the fiberglass sheet at more than twice the load does not reach breaking deformation and when the load is removed it returns to its original shape.
They also comply with ASTM D 635, very low flame spread, in the 0 to 25 classification. In no case does it reach 25 mm.
What are they like?
They are 580 mm wide (2 overlapped sheets cover 1 useful metre) and 2.5 mm thick.
They are manufactured with a thermoset resin matrix (isophthalic polyester) and reinforcing fibers, forming a highly resistant sheet. While the resin provides corrosion and weather resistance, the fiberglass reinforcements provide structural and impact strength.
A long service life can be expected since they do not corrode. It is also a material of low weight, walkable, transparent to electromagnetic waves, not a temperature transmitter, nor an electrical conductor. These sheets let some light through (they are not the common translucent ones).
