BasePlate

GRP BasePlate Panels are manufactured by combining hundreds of thousands of glass strands with thermoset resins, to produce an immensely strong and durable GRP.  These are an economical, basic version of our FybaTex panels.  BasePlate is used where aesthetic considerations are not a priority, but strength, durability and mechanical properties may be. 

Applications include:

  • Ballast Boards
  • GRP Packers
  • Deflection Panels
 

Commonly used in industrial applications such as packers, ballast boards, deflection panels etc.  This orthothalic panel has all the attributes of our FybaTex product, except without the UV, colour and surface finish options.

Available in black or grey with a smooth finish.

Benefits:

  • Impact Resistant
  • Graffiti Proof / Resistant
  • Choice of thickness
  • High Strength to Weight Ratio
  • Radio Frequency Transparent

 

 

 

 

 

BasePlate panels are either supplied in large sheets or cut to size (FOC). There are however occasions where panels have to be trimmed or drilled on site. Despite the high strength and impact resistance of the panels they are easily fabricated using conventional tools without risk of breaking or fragmenting.

Panel Size and Thickness

Panels can be manufactured to a maximum width of 1500mm and generally a length of 3500mm (however longer panels may be manufactured by special request).  Standard product range can be manufactured from 2.5mm thick upwards.  All BasePlate panels are manufactured within a dimensional and thickness tolerance.  Please contact the factory for particular details.

Fire Resistance

Products can be manufactured to different degree of fire resistance:
 

Fact:

Unlike other “Plastic” glazing products GRP will not drip, melt or soften in the event of fire.  For an explanation of the different ratings “click here“

Thermal Co-Efficient of Expansion:

30 x 10­^(-6) /Deg C
Note: Compared with many other plastics GRP has minimal expansion and contraction characteristics and will not bow and warp in extremes of temperature.

Thermal Conductivity:     0.2w/mK                     

Tensile Strength:              123MPa

Flexural Strength:             193 MPa

As standard, we used chopped-strand fiberglass… Flexural Strength can be enhanced by the addition of woven reinforcement if required.

Tensile Modulus:                7.1GPa

GRP is 7 times stronger than mild steel on a weight for weight basis
