INDUSTRIAL DUTY FIBERGLASS SHELTERS
For Highly Corrosive & Marine Locations
Shelter Application
Our Industrial Duty Fiberglass Shelters are intended for Chemical Processing or Waste water treatment areas where corrosive vapors such as Hydrogen Sulfide or Chlorine are present and offshore or coastal areas where salt-laden air or saltwater spray is prevalent. Beyond corrosion resistance, the coating material utilized includes a glass fiber reinforced Class1 flame-retardant resin and UV resistance gel coating that is available in a variety of colors.
Construction Method
Shelter Wall
Rib frame is fabricated of 80mm x 80mm x 3mm and 50mm x 50mm x 2mm metal tubes and then filled with Polyurethane foam insulation. The inner and outer surfaces shall receive a spray coating of catalyst and resin based Gel and chop-sprayed glass fibers. Material shall then be roller pressed to remove all trapped air and embed all fibers within the coating strata. The Exterior shall then be lightly sanded, utilizing a combination of soft pad side grinders and orbital sanders to obtain a smooth finish and free of any visible blemishes or raised fibers.
The surface shall receive a Flame-retardant Resin and Maine Grade UV Resistant Gel Coating Materials.
Shelter Roof
Roof frame is made of 50mm x 50mm x 3mm Metal Tubes and then filled with Polyurethane foam insulation. Top and bottom cover of the roof would be made of 6mm thick smooth GRP.
For applications where climate is severe, slope of 4 inches per foot (4/12) is provided suitable for heavy rain or snow.
The surface shall receive a Flame-retardant Resin and Maine Grade UV Resistant Gel Coating Materials.
Shelter Flooring
Bottom steel frame would be made of 80mm x 80mm x 3mm profiles. Over that a layer of 1.5mm thick Polyester Resin Lamination, 18mm thick BWP Grade Plywood and 4mm thick White Vinyl Tiles would be fixed respectively.
Door
One piece made of Resin Transfer Molded in matched metal molds, smooth finished, seamless, monolithic, warp-free composite consisting of gel-coat, fiberglass reinforcement, polyester resin, insulating core and internal reinforcements with all mortises, openings, recesses and pockets molded in place as required.
Size: 30” x 70”
Weather strip: Neoprene sponge rubber bulb type gasket with flexible lock to retain permanent grip.
Type: Sweep door.
Latch: Single pointed keyed Stainless steel cylindrical latch.
Door Closer: Hydraulic.
Finish
The surface shall receive a Flame-retardant Resin and Maine Grade UV Resistant Gel Coating Materials.
Exterior Finish: Fiberglass Exterior Natural Suede. Gel coat with low luster finish, smooth and free from fiber pattern, roughness or other irregularities.
Interior Finish: FRB over insulation. 1/8” thick chemically bonded to Gel coat white in color.
