Product Performance

 

Mechanical Properties

Reinforced with high-performance E-glass fiber, the product exhibits excellent impact resistance and flexural strength, withstanding hail and typhoons without becoming brittle or cracking.

01

Light Transmission

With a light transmission rate ranging from 25% to 90%, specialized manufacturing technology softens incoming light to create a comfortable working environment. As a non-homogeneous composite material, it diffuses light, ensuring uniform indoor illumination free from harsh spots or glare. (Manufactured using premium raw materials and optimized processes.)

02

Thermal Stability

These high-quality daylighting panels have a thermal expansion coefficient of 2.5–3.2 × 10⁻⁵ m/m/°C. This is closer to that of steel than PVC or PC, thereby reducing stress caused by temperature fluctuations and minimizing the risk of leaks at connection points.

03

Weather Resistance

The surface is coated with premium weather-resistant gel coat or a high-performance weather-resistant film. Specialized UV absorbers are incorporated to filter out over 99% of ultraviolet rays, slowing material degradation and discoloration while enhancing aging resistance.

04

Flame Retardancy

Various formulations allow for excellent flame-retardant properties that meet international standards (Class I flame-retardant panels: OI ≥ 30; Class II flame-retardant panels: OI ≥ 26).

05

Production Process (Continuous Molding)

 

1. Ingredient Preparation: Unsaturated resin + curing agent + additives + color paste

2. Bottom Film Coating: Film + uniform resin application

3. Fiber Laying: Uniform placement of chopped strand mat/fiberglass yarn

4. Top Film Lamination & Air Removal: Compression of top and bottom films to eliminate air bubbles

5. High-Temperature Curing: 140°C oven curing; degree of cure ≥95%

6. Forming: Corrugated molding

7. Cutting & Packaging: Cut to length; water-free and dust-free process

FAQ

 

Q: Is FRP Skylight Panel compatible with standard color steel sheets?

A: Yes, 470/760 profiles match most roofing sheets for direct replacement.

Q: How long is the service life?

A: Normally 15 years with stable performance under outdoor exposure.

Q: Can it be used in corrosive environments?

A: Yes, it withstands acid, alkali, and salt spray without rapid decay.

Q: Is custom size available?

A: Yes, length, width, color, and thickness can be customized per project.

Q: What are the advantages of FRP skylight panels compared to other daylighting materials?

A: FRP skylight panels account for over 85% of installations in industrial plants. Their core advantages include: soft light diffusion without glare; diverse profiles that allow for easy overlapping with profiled steel sheets, ensuring good sealing and low leakage risk; a thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of steel sheets, making them more reliable when used together; strong self-cleaning properties that eliminate the need for manual cleaning; and excellent UV and aging resistance, maintaining high light transmission. In contrast, PC panels are prone to aging and yellowing and are difficult to seal during installation; PVC has poor weather resistance and is toxic; and glass has poor self-cleaning properties, is fragile, causes significant light pollution, and has high thermal conductivity. Overall, FRP offers superior comprehensive performance.

Q: Why use combustible skylight panels?

A: Most casualties in fires result from inhaling toxic smoke. When exposed to open flames during a fire, combustible skylight panels burn rapidly to create a smoke exhaust vent, quickly venting toxic, dense smoke and effectively protecting personnel at the scene from harm. Furthermore, FRP skylight panels are made of thermosetting material, so they do not produce burning droplets. Fire safety regulations require the roof daylighting area to be at least 8%, mandate that skylight panels be combustible, and require that the panels do not produce burning droplets when burning.

Q: How can the thermal insulation issue of skylight panels be addressed?

A: Thermal insulation can be achieved by using a double-layer configuration, which lowers the heat transfer coefficient to meet insulation requirements. Our company's double-layer panels can achieve a heat transfer coefficient of 2.5 W/(m²·K). These panels come in two types-composite and separated-to suit different roof structure requirements.

Q: Where are flame-retardant skylight panels primarily used, and what are their characteristics?

A: Applications: Steel mills, high-temperature blast furnace areas, and special locations involving flying sparks or requiring flame retardancy. Classification and characteristics: Class I flame retardancy (Oxygen Index ≥ 30); Class II flame retardancy (Oxygen Index ≥ 26). Due to the inclusion of flame-retardant additives, aging resistance is slightly reduced; Class I panels show yellowing after one year of use, while Class II panels yellow more easily and noticeably. Yellowing results in only a 3%–10% reduction in light transmission but does not affect mechanical strength or overall service life; the warranty terms remain unchanged. Conclusion: Flame-retardant daylighting panels are reliable and suitable for specific fire-safety applications; yellowing is a normal phenomenon and does not compromise operational safety.

Q: Why does uneven thickness occur in daylighting panels?

A: Our company manufactures daylighting panels in strict accordance with the GB/14206-2005 standard, which specifies a permissible thickness tolerance of ±10%. During the molding process, the resin is in a liquid state. Due to gravity, the material tends to be thinner at the corners of the corrugation crests; however, these variations remain within the ±10% tolerance limit. This variance does not affect the quality of our daylighting panels, and the product warranty remains unchanged.
