 | | FYBAGLAZE PANELS | | General Technical Specification |
| General description: | | Fybaglaze panels - possibly the toughest glazing materials available. Panels are virtually unbreakable and have a high resistance to impact, shock and wind loading, whilst maintaining an aesthetic appearance. | | | Due to the wide variety of products and variations available in the Fybaplate range, the following technical specifications should be considered as a guide only. Please contact us directly for more accurate product qualities and performance ratings.

THERMAL CO-EFFICIENT OF EXPANSION
30 x 10^(-6) /Deg C
FACT: Compared with many other plastics GRP has minimal expansion and contraction characteristics and will not bow and warp in extremes of temperature. |
IMPACT RESISTANCE
To BS 5544 (cert no: 395-1) and regulation 14 compliant.
FACT: Steel Ball drop test conclude no penetration or breakage of GRP glazing. |
UV / LIGHT TRANSMISSION
Up to 83% depending on thickness and surface texture.
FACT: The inclusion of our unique surface protection membrane can significantly enhance the quality, appearance and lifespan by providing a high level of UV resistance, thus ensuring continued light transmission.
|
GRAFFITI RESISTANCE
A factory applied coating operation permits simple removal of graffiti with no detrimental surface effects to the panel. |
SHEET DIMENSIONS
FYBAGARD / FYBALYTE:
Standard stock sheet size is 8 x 4 (2440 x 1220), but as all panels are manufactured to customer requirements, virtually any length can be accommodated, with a width restriction of 1525mm.
FYBAMESH:
8 x 4 (2440 x 1220), 10 x 4 (3050 x 1220), 10 x 5 (3050 x 1525) all nominal sizes, or any derivative within these sizes. |
FLEXURAL STRENGTH
170 MPa
FACT: Will not bow and flex as much as other glazing plastics.
|
SHEET THICKNESS
Standard product range can be manufactured to literally any thickness with 3mm, 4mm & 6mm being standard. |
TENSILE STRENGTH
100MPa
FACT: Seven times stronger than mild steel on a weight for weight basis.
|
TENSILE MODULUS
8 GPa
|
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
0.2 w/mK
FACT: Significantly lower than glass. |
CUTTING AND HANDLING
FYBAGARD / FYBALYTE: Jig saw, Bench saw (using diamond tipped blade), Guillotine.
FYBAMESH: Guillotine abrasive disc, jig saw (using metal cutting blades).
Cut in well ventilated area using gloves, eye protection and dust particle masks. |
