Ampelite Wonderglas GC Industrial Roofing Materials

Product Overview

Wnderglas GC – Proven Performance
Wonderglas GC behaves differently to fiberglass sheeting protected by surface films. Wonderglas has a nominal surface protection thickness of 100 micron, compared to 20 microns with most surface films. Unlike surface films the S996 gel coat is chemically cross-linked to the fiberglass sheet, and therefore unable to delaminate. Because of this over the life of the sheet strength and flexibility is retained, Wonderglas GC does not lose its tensile strength or become brittle as happens with film protected and sheeting.  Wonderglas GC has been proven on many thousands of installations throughout Australia and New Zealand, and in many Asian regions.  Ampelite's policy of continual product improvement, as new technology and materials are available, ensures product leadership.  The highly UV resistant resins used in the manufacture of Wonderglas GC provide the ultimate in protection - ahead of even the latest film technology. 

Superior Features of Wonderglas GC

• Light transmission is maintained.  Loss of light transmission after 10 years is just 10% compared to a loss of 30% for standard surface film protected fiberglass sheeting.  Wonderglas GC has a highly UV resistant gel coat of 100 microns.
• Very high resistance to yellowing and discoloration.  Over 10 years changes are negligible and are covered by warranty.  Only minor changes may occur in later years.
• Surface erosion (fiber show) is eliminated.   It is covered by warranty for 25 years.
• Low surface erosion.  This also improves weathering properties.  The 100 micron gel coated surface provides an impenetrable barrier and the sheet is warranted against water penetration for 25 years.  Inbuilt UV protection eliminates 99% of harmful UV Rays.
