TRANSLUCENT ROOFS

 
Part Number: BR
Application: Transportation Roof Panel
 
 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

BULITEX Translucent Roof Panels are available in .050" and .070" thicknesses.

BULITEX is a thermoplastic composite using multi-layered woven fiber technology (not common chopped fibers). This exclusive manufacturing process creates a ballistic-grade material that is virtually impenetrable and is over four times stronger than traditional FRP panels.

BULITEX Translucent Roof Panels have a bondable surface for fast, easy installation.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS:   PURCHASING DIMENSIONS:

Note: Protect your eyes with goggles.

DESIGN DATA NOTES:

  Dimensions shall be as specified on the purchase order, subject to the following tolerances:
1. Bulk coil 200 linear feet minimum. Bulk coil may be ordered in long lengths or in specific cut-to-size pieces. U.S. Liner Company reserves the right to manufacture and ship total linear footage of long length bulk coils within the following parameter lengths per piece:
Product .050" .070"
Min. 200' 200'
Max. 800' 800'

U.S. Liner idetifies all pieces of BULITEX with an exclusive BULITEX label, indicating which side faces cargo.

SPECIFICATIONS:

BULITEX panels are manufactured by a continuous laminating process and cut to desired lengths.

Panel edges and fastener holes need to be properly sealed to prevent water penetration.

COMPOSITION:

BULITEX is a thermoplastic composite using multi-layered woven fiber technology.

Finished panel quality:

1. Panels shall be made of the composite described above and the wear side shall have a smooth, woven finish. Back side imperfections which do not affect functional properties are not cause for rejection.
2. Physical properties shall be as set forth in Table 1.
3. Product quality standards and tolerances for panel weights and thicknesses for each series shall be as determined by U.S. Liner's Quality Control.
 

Width: +/-1/8"
Length: +/-1/8" up to 12', + 1/4" from 12' to 40', bulk coil -0" and +6"
Squareness: 1/8" in 4'

NOTICE:

BULITEX panels will provide a clean, aesthetically-pleasing finished installation. However, by nature, composite paneling may occasionally have small areas that are not acceptable for use. All panels should be inspected on-site prior to installation. If any portion of material will not provide an acceptable appearance, U.S. Liner Company should be notified at once. Upon verification of unacceptability by U.S. Liner Quality Control, that portion of material will be replaced by U.S. Liner. U.S. Liner's sole responsibility is for the replacement of defective material, but not for labor or other handling or installation expense.
