Dura Profile – June 2019

About Dura Profile

Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is a composite material made of a thermosetting plastic resin reinforced by fine fibres of glass along with the use of additives and is commonly referred to by the name of fibreglass. Dura Composites Ltd carries one of the largest stock holdings of profile, including standard Angle, Channel, Beam, Box and Tube.

The Standard Profile Range we hold in stock are produced in 6m lengths, ISO Resin and are Dark Grey RAL 7043. (These can be cut to size, please speak to your local representative to discuss your requirements.)

Key applications and benefits for GRP Dura Profile include:

Applications Features Benefits Work/Public Platforms Corrosion Resistant Suitable for Harsh Environments Sub Floor Platforms High Strength/Low Weight Ideal for Manual Handling Bridge Decking & Structures Non-Conductive Suitable for High Voltage Areas Ladders/Staircases Fire Resistant Suitable for Fire Escapes Cable Trays UV Resistant No painting Protective Screens 25 Yr. Warranty & 60 Yr. Expected Lifespan Fit and Forget

Understanding Dura Profile Load & Deflection Data:

A Point Load is any static load considered to act over a small or concentrated area when compared to the extent of the surface to which the load is applied.

A Uniformly Distributed Load or UDL is one where the load is considered evenly distributed across a defined area.

Point Load UDL

Determining the correct load rating for your Dura Profile is dependent on the intended use. For more information please consult your Dura Composites representative.

Dura Profile – June 2019

1. DefinitionGlass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is a composite material made of a thermosetting plastic resin reinforced by finefibres of glass along with the use of additives and is commonly referred to by the name of fibreglass andsometimes by the name FRP or fibre reinforced plastic.

1.1 Applications GRP is an immensely versatile material which combines lightweight with inherent strength to provide a resilient finished product with a variety of surface textures and a virtually unlimited colour range available. By selecting the appropriate combination of fibreglass reinforcements, resins and processing techniques, the engineer can create a product or component to meet the most demanding of specifications.

1.2 Benefits High strength, light weight, dimensional stability, corrosion/chemical/electrical resistance, low tooling/installation cost, long life. GRP products compete very favourably on a performance/life cycle cost basis versus traditional materials.

2. ProductDura Profile is structural fibreglass construction profile designed to replace traditional construction profiles i.e.steel, alloys and timber as they are prone to degradation (corrosion, rotting, etc.). Pultruded through a die,Dura Profile is made to a high tolerance and quality, is easy to handle, erect and cut on site due to its lowweight (1/4 of the weight of steel).

2.1 Material Properties

UV Weather (5000 hours) ISO 4892-2 Xenon Arc

Fire resistance - BS476 Part 7 & 6 Class 2 (standard range) Class 1, Class 0 (Available on request)

3. Testing StandardsBritish Standard BS EN 13706, the specification for pultruded profiles, defines two performance grades. Ourstructural Dura Profiles are designed to meet or exceed the higher performance E23 grade. For more detailsplease contact your Dura Composites sales representative.

4. Colour and Surface FinishThe Standard Profile Range we hold in stock are produced in 6m lengths, ISO Resin and are Dark Grey RAL7043. (These can be cut to size, please speak to your local representative to discuss your requirements.)

As well as our standard range, Dura Profile is also available in a huge range of other dimensions and resins. These are subject to minimum order quantities and extended lead times, so please call us to discuss your requirements at your earliest convenience.

Available resin types include: • Polyester - suitable for most industrial applications (Isophthalic and Orthophthalic)• Vinylester - provides additional corrosion resistance.• Phenolic - maximum fire performance and low emissions. Limited range only.

5. Chemical ResistanceDura Profile is resistant against wide a range of chemicals across wide temperature spectrum. The StandardProfile Range we hold in stock are produced in ISO Resin, and the chemical resistance information for ourstandard range is shown below. Dura Profile can be made of different resin systems to achieve specificchemical resistance. Please contact us for more information on other resin types.

Dura Profile – June 2019

Working With GRP Dura Profile: These guidelines are provided to help prevent installation problems caused by common errors when working with GRP Dura Profile components. Dura Composites bears no responsibility for installation actions taken or not taken. There are many bespoke aspects of installation that are assumed to be general construction knowledge to an experienced installer; and as such are not included in this Technical Manual. The guidance below are strictly recommendations and are not intended to serve as a step-by-step, foolproof installation checklist. Selection of an experienced GRP installer is the sole responsibility of the project owner.

Every Dura Profile installation site is different and is likely to present different hazards and risks. However, a well-designed and maintained site with suitable segregation of vehicles, equipment and people will make workplace accidents less likely. Some important considerations to bear in mind:

• Please ensure that your proposed design or fabrication meets any relevant local building codes andregulations before you begin the installation.

• Keep members of the public and other personnel not involved in the installation of Dura Profile awayfrom the work area until the job has been completed and tools and materials have been storedsafely.

• Refer to the operators’ manuals for safety guidance on all power tools being used.

• Long sleeved shirts with closed collars, long trousers or protective clothing such as disposable overallsmay be worn to prevent dust exposure when cutting or grinding the product.

• When handling Dura Profile, always wear gloves and a suitable barrier cream to prevent cuts,scratches or abrasions.

• Always ensure you have adequate eye and face protection and work in a well-ventilated area. Ifusing a respirator, to ensure that it is effective, users should be clean shaven, and the respirator shouldhave a close fit.
