FIBA-SHIELD (Seal)

In many applications, it is advisable to specify a glass fibre or synthetic fibre surfacing tissue, which is itself resistant to the exposure conditions and will ensure the structural glass is not exposed.

The durability of any FRP is determined by the resin, which forms a protection for the structural glass. This is known as a gel coat and is a resin rich layer. When this is eroded by weathering or chemical attack the structural layer of glass becomes exposed and the glass can then accelerate the breakdown of the composite by a process called wicking whereby the material becomes porous.

The fabrication of FRP is extremely diverse due to the wide range of resins and reinforcements available. We provide a range of appropriate and economic solutions to the various situations.
