To have a low life cycle cost a material must have a long service
life and require little or no maintenance. Far outlasting metal, wood, and
cement board, CHEMCLAD® can be specified for virtually any industrial
environment and chemical vapor exposure.
CHEMCLAD® isophthalic polyester and vinyl ester resins were
developed by major chemical companies specifically to resist attack from
aggressive chemicals and/or high humidity. Formulated with these premium
grade materials and color pigmented throughout the material, CHEMCLAD®
roofing and siding panels do not rust, rot, or experience flaking under
the toughest conditions. Unlike coated metals which have unprotected
points at sheet edges and fastening points, CHEMCIAD® does not have
any weak points.
The polyester resin system is designed for use in splash and spill
chemical conditions with moderate operating temperatures (up to 150
degrees Fahrenheit). The vinyl ester system has better strength retention
at high temperatures and can be used in operating temperatures up to 225
degrees Fahrenheit.
The corresponding image is a guide that can be used to assist in the
selection of the appropriate resin for a specific application. Since
operating conditions vary with the application, this information should be
considered as a guide only and not a guarantee of performance. Please
contact GRAHAM FRP Composites for further assistance with material
selection.
