Each panel will consist of an outer pultruded FRP skin with a rigid foam core having an approximate “R” factor of 7 per inch of panel thickness. 2. Exposed foam core panel ends as an option may be encapsulated with FRP pultruded materials. If required, the ends of the panels must be encapsulated or coated with a resin similar to the skin resin to maintain the corrosion and weather resistant qualities of the total panel. 3. Mechanical and physical properties shall meet or exceed the values listed in Table 3. 4. Fiberglass pultruded foam core DURASHIELD panels are to be fabricated and distributed by GEF Incorporated. B. Connections 1. Panels will be designed for tongue-in-groove joint connections on two parallel sides per panel. 2. The panels are to be fastened to the super structure with stainless steel or fiberglass fasteners as shown on the approved shop drawings. C. Approved Fabricators 1. GEF Incorporated (304)755-1600 www.gefinc.com 2.07 FRP HOLLOW CORE BUILDING PANELS A. Materials 1. Each panel shall be manufactured by the pultrusion process utilizing _____________ (select isophthalic polyester or vinyl ester) resin with flame retardant and UV inhibitor additives. A synthetic surfacing veil shall be an outermost layer covering the exterior surface. The FRP panel shall achieve a flame spread rating of 25 or less with ASTM E- 84 test method, flammability characteristics of UL 94 V0 and self- extinguishing requirements of ASTM D635.
