suregrip Technical Information

FIBREGLASS BASE

suregrip is manufactured using GRP as the base. All the following data refers to the GRP sheets. They are manufactured from thermosetting polyester resins and reinforced with glass fibre. A polyester film is applied to the external surface during manufacture for increased weather resistance. The GRP sheets are robust and shatter resistant. They will not soften or become brittle when exposed to high or low temperatures, incorporate UV light stabilisers, fire retardants and diffusing additives and comply with BS4154 "Corrugated Plastic Transluscent Sheets made from Thermosetting Polyester Resins"

Structural and Mechanical - Typical Values
Tensile Strength	BS 2782 Part 3 85N/mm2
Flexural Strength	BS 2782 Part 3 200N/mm2
Flexural (Bending) Modulus	BS 2782 Part 3 5.0KN/mm2
Bolt Shear	BS 4154 500N at Nominal 1mm Thickness
Impact Strength	Izod J/mm Notch 0.5
Hardness	Brinell 30

Physical Properties
Operating Temperatures:	-20°C to 100 + °C
Thermal Conductivity (K):	Lee's Disc: 0.15W/m °C
Thermal Movement:	Coeffiecient of Linear Expansion: 25 x 10-6 per °C
Biological:	Resistant to attack by micro-organisms, fungi, larvae, insects and mildew
Compatibility:	No chemical reaction with other established construction materials

The GRP substrate has a life expectancy of at least 30 years

2. AGGREGATE

The aggregate used to create the anti-slip surface of suregrip is black silicon carbide to provide a tough and durable grip with a long lifespan.

Chemical Analysis - Typical chemical analysis conducted on a 60 mesh grit.

Compound/Element, Chemical Formula & Typical Content

Silicon Carbide (Sic) 98.50 - 97.50% Maximum

Free Silicon (Si) 00.50% Maximum

Silica (SiO2) 01.00% Maximum

Free Carbon (C) 00.30% Maximum

Iron - Surface (Fe2O3) 00.10% Maximum

Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) 00.20% Maximum

Hardness = 9.0 Mohs

3. RESIN

Isophtalic resin with good chemical resistant properties is used to seal the surface of suregrip ensuring that the silicon carbide aggregate can not become detached from the GRP sheet. The resin is compatible with the resins used in the manufacture of the GRP sheet to ensure that delamination can never occur.
