Topglass Gel-coat Features and Benefits

• Manufactured from an acrylic modified resin system, prepared and supplied exclusively to Alsynite design specifications, each Topglass GC batch is blended in house to exact product requirements.  The Alsynite gelcoat state-of-the-art application process and our extensive six stage curing phase ensures Topglass GC is produced fully cured with a perfectly smooth surface. Consistent laminates are produced incorporating anti static high quality glass rovings that generate maximum strength during the curing and bonding process

• The ultimate benefit of the Topglass® GC product over general purpose grades of GRP natural roof lighting products is the addition of a UV stabilised 130-micron gel-coated surface which is reactive thermo-set to provide a high gloss surface

• Topglass® GC, which is manufactured to meet the requirements of AS 4256:3, is economical and provides flexibility whilst resisting UV degradation and yellowing much longer than is commonly experienced with general purpose translucent roofing products

• Harmful ultraviolet rays remain a major concern for building designers. Topglass® GC can be supplied in a variety of pigments, and can also be supplied as Topglass® GC SPF. This innovative gel-coat additive provides excellent UVA and UVB protection and offers exceptional heat and light data
