| Resin Type | Orthophthalic Polyester | Isophthalic / Vinyl Ester | Fire-Retardant Polyester |
| UV Resistance | Excellent | Excellent | Excellent |
| Chemical Resistance | Good — standard environments | Excellent — acidic/alkaline environments | Good — standard environments |
| Fire Rating | Non-certified | Non-certified | BS 476 Part 7 Class 1, ASTM D635 |
| Light Transmission | 13% - 75% (selectable) | 13% - 75% (selectable) | 13% - 75% (selectable) |
| Standard GSM | 300 - 1200 GSM | 300 - 1200 GSM | 300 - 1200 GSM |
| Warranty | Up to 15 years | Up to 15 years | Up to 15 years |
Sun-Lite Series — General Purpose
Sun-Lite is designed for standard industrial applications where basic UV resistance, weather durability, and cost-effectiveness are the primary concerns.
Best Applications:
- Factories and warehouses
- Workshops and workshops
- General commercial buildings
- Car ports and parking structures
Moon-Lite Series — Chemical Resistant
Moon-Lite features enhanced resin systems (Isophthalic or Vinyl Ester) that provide superior resistance to acidic and alkaline environments, making it ideal for corrosive applications.
Best Applications:
- Chemical processing plants
- Mining and mineral processing facilities
- Coastal buildings (salt spray exposure)
- Agricultural buildings (livestock waste exposure)
- Electroplating facilities
Star-Lite Series — Fire Retardant
Star-Lite is formulated with fire-retardant resins and certified to BS 476 Part 7 for surface spread of flame and ASTM D635 for burning characteristics. Essential for buildings with strict fire safety requirements.
Best Applications:
- Buildings requiring fire-rated roofing
- Oil and gas facilities
- Power plants and electrical facilities
- Warehouses storing flammable materials
- Buildings near fire stations or in fire-prone areas
