Moon-Lite Series | Chemical Resistant FRP Sheet
SPACE® Moon-Lite Series is a premium chemical-resistant fibreglass reinforced polyester (FRP) roofing and cladding sheet. Engineered with Isophthalic resin and a heavy-duty 300-micron polyester gelcoat, Moon-Lite provides superior resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals. Backed by a 20-year performance warranty.
Construction & Materials
| Component | Material | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Top Surface | Polyester Gelcoat, 300 micron thickness | Heavy-duty chemical-resistant barrier, glossy smooth finish, UV and abrasion protection |
| Resin System | Isophthalic Polyester Resin | Superior chemical resistance compared to orthophthalic resin; excellent hydrolysis resistance |
| Reinforcement | E-Glass Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) | High mechanical strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability |
| Back Surface | Polyester Resin Surface Layer | Additional chemical barrier on underside; ensures overall chemical resistance |
Chemical Resistance — Tested to ASTM D1308
Moon-Lite Series has been laboratory-tested for resistance to the following chemicals. Results show no visible surface attack or delamination after 24-hour continuous exposure:
| Chemical | Concentration | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Sulphuric Acid (H₂SO₄) | 30% | No attack — PASS |
| Nitric Acid (HNO₃) | 10% | No attack — PASS |
| Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) | 10% | No attack — PASS |
| Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) | 10% | No attack — PASS |
Note: For specific chemical environments not listed, please consult Space Asia technical team. Resistance may vary with temperature and exposure duration.
