Manufacturing & Materials

Resin Systems

Our flat sheet panels use an SMC compression moulding process, ensuring consistent sheet thickness, uniform resin distribution and reliable surface finish quality.

Developed through more than a decade of refinement across resin chemistry, pigment stability, UV protection and manufacturing consistency, our resin platforms are engineered for long-term industrial performance in demanding environments.

  • ISO-PLEX (Isophthalic Polyester Resin)
    Developed for dependable all-round industrial performance, ISO-PLEX combines balanced resin chemistry, UV resistance, and moisture protection into a versatile FRP system designed for reliable structural performance and long-term visual consistency across outdoor and industrial applications.

Surfaces & Finishes

The surface profile influences how our anti-slip products grip, wear, clean and perform underfoot. Each finish is designed for long-term consistency and industrial durability.

Our Surface Systems

Developed through years of real-world industrial application and refinement, our surface systems are designed to balance slip resistance, wear life, drainage performance and long-term durability.

  • CARBIX Fine Grit
    A refined anti-slip surface system using controlled grit grading and bonding technology to achieve a smoother underfoot finish while maintaining dependable slip resistance. Designed for pedestrian-focused and barefoot-friendly environments.
  • CARBIX Medium Grit
    Our heavy-duty industrial anti-slip system, developed to maximise grit retention, wear life and long-term traction performance in demanding outdoor and industrial applications.

Testing & Performance

WATER ABSORPTION TESTING

Testing was carried out by SGS. in accordance with ASTM D570-22 on our moulded FRP products manufactured using ISO and VE resin systems.

Test Conditions:

Dried at 50 ± 2 °C for 24 h
Soaked in water at:

  • 23 °C for 24 h
  • 100 °C for 2 h
  • 50 °C for 48 h

Measured Water Absorption (%):

Condition              Sample A                               Sample B                           Assessment
23 °C / 24 h              0.17 %                               0.09 %                           Excellent resistance – negligible absorption
100 °C / 2 h              0.49 %                               0.47 %                           High stability – minimal uptake under heat
50 °C / 48 h              0.52 %                               0.71 %                           Strong retention – remains below 1 % threshold

Interpretation:
Results demonstrate consistently low water absorption across all temperature and duration tests, confirming a dense, well-cured laminate structure.
Moisture uptake remained below 1 %, supporting dimensional accuracy, mechanical reliability, and long-term surface integrity.
Performance levels are within the expected range for high-grade structural FRP composites and trend toward the lower end of typical absorption values, indicating slightly improved resistance compared with standard industry benchmarks.

 

LOW VOC PIGMENT

Our colour system utilises a polyester-based pigment dispersion that chemically bonds within the FRP matrix, rather than just coating it. This 100 % solids, low-VOC formulation delivers cleaner processing, longer-lasting colour, and superior UV stability compared to solvent-borne alternatives. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to colour FRP.

ELECTRICAL INSULATION TESTING

Testing was carried out by SGS in accordance with ASTM D495-22 and ASTM D149-20 on our FRP moulded products manufactured using ISO and VE resin systems.

Test Conditions:

  • Dry Arc Resistance (ASTM D495-22)
    • Arcing voltage: 12.5 kV • Electrode gap: 6.35 mm • Environment: 23 °C / 50 % RH
  • Dielectric Breakdown (ASTM D149-20)
    • Transformer oil medium • Voltage rise: 3000 V/s • Frequency: 50 Hz

Measured Electrical Performance:

Property       Sample A (ISO resin)                        Sample B (VE resin)               Assessment
Arc Resistance Time (s)       182.5 s                        146.2 s               Excellent surface insulation – high resistance to tracking
Dielectric Strength (kV/mm)       15.6 kV/mm                        12.5 kV/mm               Strong electrical barrier – stable under high voltage

Interpretation:

Results confirm both resin systems deliver high-grade electrical insulation consistent with the requirements of ASTM D495 and D149.
The ISO-resin laminate achieved the highest overall performance, showing extended arc-resistance duration and greater dielectric strength, indicating a dense, well-cross-linked matrix with minimal conductive pathways.
The VE-resin laminate also exhibited strong insulating capability, remaining well within the range expected for premium structural FRP composites.

Electrical performance across both systems supports their suitability for installations requiring high-voltage isolation, reduced surface tracking, and long-term reliability in wet or industrial environments.
