DuroSpan FRP Casing Panels

High Strength FRP Panels for Cooling Tower Applications

DuroSpan FRP Casing Panels offer superior structural

performance and long service life for industrial facilities
and cooling tower applications.
Made with isophthalic polyester resin, DuroSpan material does not corrode in wet conditions or in moderate
chemical exposures. Long-term retention of aesthetic
properties and superior UV protection is provided by the
UV stabilized resin system.
In reinforced plastic (FRP) material, strength and
stiffness is determined by the amount and alignment of
its glass fiber reinforcements. To optimize structural
properties, DuroSpan is constructed with high reinforcing content, 30% by weight, which is placed in straight
and continuous, bidirectional alignment. As a result,
DuroSpan can stand up to hurricane-force winds and is
much stronger and stiffer than chopped strand FRP and
PVC materials.
In addition to profiles and color, which are industry
standards, DuroSpan casing panels are available in a
wide range of additional profiles and colors.

1) Maximum span for uniform load, PSF, is shown in lineal feet and based on panel fasteners with .729 diameter washer at every other rib over supports.
2) Structural properties and maximum spans are based on large-scale tests that consider: bending moment at failure, flexural stiffness and pullover force per fastener.

With strength and stiffness superior to other FRP roofing panels, Tuff Span Series 450 gives installers and plant workers safe support and confidence when walking on the
material. Users must provide safe conditions and are responsible for workers on Step Tuff roofs. This includes, but is not limited to, risks associated with slippery roofs
and suitability of aged materials. OSHA safety measures such as safety shoes, harnesses, tie-off lines, etc. must be observed and monitored by contractor or end user.

Tuff Span Roofing & Siding Panels

Unsurpassed Strength & Corrosion Resistance
For demanding structural and environmental conditions, Tuff Span FRP building panels deliver unsurpassed performance as industrial roofing and siding.
In FRP materials, strength and stiffness is determined by the alignment and amount
of its glass fiber reinforcements. For effective reaction and transfer of loads, Tuff
Span is constructed with high reinforcing content placed in straight and continuous,
bidirectional alignment. As a result, Tuff Span has higher strength and stiffness of any
profiled FRP building panel and history of standing up to hurricane winds where aged
metal, cementious, and other materials have failed. Providing personnel safety, Tuff
Span series 450 is the standard for walkable, FRP roofing.
To resist attack from aggressive chemical exposure, Tuff Span is formulated with premium resin systems, Iso-Polyester or Vinyl Ester. Extended and superior UV protection is provided by an exterior acrylic coating, UV stabilized resin, embossed resinrich surface, and interior mat or veil. A wide range of profiles are available in opaque
colors or translucent for natural light transmission.

1) Maximum span for uniform load, PSF, is shown in lineal feet and based on panel fasteners with .729 diameter washer located 10.66 on center.
2) Structural properties and maximum spans are based on large-scale tests that consider: bending moment at failure, flexural stiffness and pullover force per fastener.
