Structural Shapes & Plate
EXTREN® is a proprietary combination of fiberglass reinforcements and thermosetting polyester or vinyl ester resin systems. EXTREN® is produced in more than 100 standard shapes and all shapes have a surface veil to protect against glass fibers penetrating the resin surface in service and to increase corrosion and UV resistance.
EXTREN® is offered in three series designed for different environments and applications:
SERIES 500
An all-purpose series utilizing an isophthalic polyester resin system with a UV inhibitor. Color: Olive Green
SERIES 525
An all-purpose series utilizing a fire retardant isophthalic polyester resin system with a UV inhibitor. Color: Slate Gray (plus certain handrail and fixed ladder components in yellow)
SERIES 625
A premium series both fire retardant and highly corrosion resistant utilizing a vinyl ester resin system with a UV inhibitor. Color: Beige
All structural shapes are available in a polyester resin (Strongwell PE) and vinyl ester resin (Strongwell VE) which are certified to NSF-61.
