Fiberglass rolled. Cheap and angry

Fiberglass plastic was originally used as a coating for heat-insulating layers of pipelines. But today the scope of its application has become much broader. Material is increasingly used in construction as a cover layer for thermal insulation. This is due to its high performance characteristics and low price.

Fiberglass plastic refers to the kind of composite materials. Its main component is a filler in the form of a glass, quartz or other fiber. Another component of this material is thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers that act as a binder.

The main performance indicators of the material, which in many ways predetermined its popularity, are:

• Biostability. He is not afraid of rodents and any microorganisms.
• Himaustoychivost. This material can be used in aggressive environments.
• Weather resistance. Fiberglass is not afraid of wind, snow, rain. He perfectly tolerates the effects of ultraviolet rays.
• Operating temperature. Fiberglass plastic roll works well at temperatures from -40 to +60 degrees Celsius.
• Good strength. When bending, no cracks appear on the material.
• Ease of installation. The material is easily cut and fastened. When you use it, you do not need to use any special tools or tools.
• Long service life.
• Poor combustibility.
• Low price for fiberglass roll.

Technical characteristics of the material

The length of one roll is not less than 50 meters. The width of the web varies from 90 to 120 centimeters, but the most common size for this indicator is 1000 millimeters. Its thickness is not less than 0.25 millimeters.

In the composition of this roll material, the mass fraction of volatile substances does not exceed 3%, and the impregnating agent can be from 45 to 200 grams per square meter. Its water absorption for a day by mass does not exceed 3%. Fiberglass plastic refers to non-combustible materials with a small smoke-forming capacity.

Marking

РСТ-ХХХ-П (Ш) , where РСТ - rolled fiberglass heat-insulating; XXX is a numerical value that corresponds to the nominal mass per unit area; П is the letter value describing the impregnating composition used (Ф-bakelite varnish, Л-latex); W is the width of the web.

Mounting Features

The execution of installation work with this material does not have any difficulties and difficulties. It is easy to cut and stack. The only thing that should be paid close attention is the fastening. The rolled fiberglass plastic must be overlapped with an allowance of 15%. And fixing should be done by fixing tapes. Metal wire is not recommended, as it can damage the coating.

Cost of material

On fiberglass, the roll price depends on several parameters. This is the used impregnation and the nominal weight of the product. So, the cost of the PCT-250-l per square meter is about 30 rubles. The PCT-415-l will cost 35 rubles, and the PCT-250-f will cost 30 rubles each.
