Overview:
Since 1951, when Resolite first began production in Zelienople, Pa., the company has provided architects, engineers, contractors and building owners with the very finest in fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels. Literally thousands of buildings across the country, and around the world, have utilized Resolite panels, particularly when corrosion resistance was the principal design consideration.
Throughout its history, Resolite has been at the forefront of new product development. Resolite developed and fabricated the industry's first fire retardant FRP panels, and introduced the first walkable FRP panel (Tred-Safe™) and RFM panels (Factory Mutual approved), as well as other engineered FRP composite products.
Resolite is recognized as an industry leader in industrial and corrosion resistant products. The company's automated continuous production lines; in-plant laboratory; testing facilities; and engineers and staff, combine to offer customers unequaled assistance in meeting their structural, corrosion and accelerated weathering challenges.
Through a network of area managers, manufacturer's representatives, distributors and a quick ship program, Resolite panels are readily available anywhere in North America. Today, as a division of Stabilite America, a world leader in industrial manufacturing, Resolite continues to provide designers and building owners with engineered FRP composite solutions to meet a host of corrosion resistant applications.

|
|
Resolite fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) panels remain virtually unaffected in many chemical environments. They are strong, durable, shatter resistant and will not rust, rot, scale or mildew. These panels are commonly specified for use as roofing and siding by industrial engineers.

TRED-SAFE™
|
Resolite Tred-Safe was designed to meet the need for a fire rated, strong, safe, walkable+ roof panel. Tred-Safe incorporates the same isophthalic polyester resin as our high performance FS25A and CRFS25A products. The resin is intermixed with a five layer combination of reinforcement including C/W Barriers, bidirectional continuous strand woven and chopped strand fiberglass, making Tred-Safe the optimum FRP walkable panel.

|
|
The '40' Series FS25A (translucent) and CRFS25A (opaque) panels were developed to meet a growing requirement for a high strength FRP panel. A combination of glass reinforcement consisting of bidirectional continuous strand woven and chopped strand fiberglass is the ideal solution for longer span capabilities without sacrificing resiliency and impact resistance.

FS25A is the translucent and CRFS25A is the opaque version of Resolite's fire retardant panels. Both are available in a wide variety of profiles and in many types (1430 thru 830) and have a nominal weight of 14 oz. thru 8 oz. per square foot respectively.
FS25A and CRFS25A panels are a composite matrix of polyester resin and chopped strand fiberglass reinforcement. This glass reinforcement is multi-directional and provides equal strength in all directions. Although other types of glass reinforcements, such as linear glass, can provide stiffer panel characteristics and longer spanning capabilities, they sacrifice resiliency. The ability to absorb various forces without damage to its structural integrity is critical to the long term performance of FRP panels.

Over 50 years of production and development experience has gone into Resolite's RFM panels. These panels were tested at Factory Mutual Research Center and have passed both the Factory Mutual 25 and 50 foot Corner Test. Both tests were conducted on minimum 6'0" spans to simulate real world conditions.
In accordance with FM Standard 4880, Resolite RFM panels have been approved for unrestricted use as a wall, roof or ceiling without height limitations or sprinkler protection.
Resolite RFM panels also achieved I-90 Wind Uplift Classification and passed the Factory Mutual tough hail damage tests. In addition, Resolite RFM 11, 14 and 17 panels have passed ASTM E 108 and achieved a Class B rating with a maximum 3 in 12 roof slope.
The Resolite RFM insulated panel system was also tested and meets the FMRC Class 4453/4420 approval requirements.

Acryloy & CR-Acryloy
|
Acryloy is the translucent and CR-Acryloy the opaque version of Resolite's non-fire retardant (non FR) panels. Both are available in a wide variety of profiles and in many types 1230 through 830 and have a nominal weight of 12 oz. thru 8 oz. per square foot respectively.

Tred-Safe DECK
|
Resolite Tred-Safe DECK is the smart choice for the highly corrosive environments found in pulp and paper mills, galvanizing plants, salt operations, metal processing and chemical plants. Tred-Safe DECK is the ideal replacement for old wood decks, spalling concrete channel slabs or other deteriorated systems. It can be used either as a support for a built-up or single ply roofing system, or as a form for poured reinforced concrete slabs.
The unique combination of fiberglass reinforcement built into Tred-Safe DECK provides an exceptionally strong unit. Building owners and installers can be assured that Tred-Safe DECK provides a safe working platform and can be used in many of the same applications as light gauge metal roof deck.

Resolite's FRP gutter and downspout system was developed specifically for FRP-clad buildings in environments which can destroy painted metal and vinyl systems. While rain washes corrosive materials off wall and roof panels, significant amounts of these materials may actually accumulate in gutter sections. Gutter and downspout system components have to withstand even worse corrosive conditions than ordinary FRP panels.

ResoFLO
|
Resolite's ResoFLO FRP gravity ventilation systems are designed to withstand the extremely corrosive environments often associated with pulp and paper mills, chemical plants, steel mills, metal treatment facilities, chlorine cell buildings, and wastewater treatment plants. Operating conditions at these types of industrial sites typically include deadly threats to building components, excess heat, moisture and corrosive gases, liquids and particulates. Working together, they can quickly destroy ordinary ventilation system components and impair critical production processes. Fiberglass reinforced polymer materials, with their excellent resistance to corrosive atmospheres, can substantially increase the service life of ventilation systems.

Series RFVS Gravity Ventilators
|
ResoFLO continuous ridge ventilators, employing corrosion-resistant FRP components, are designed to produce maximum gravity airflow under a wide range of adverse operating conditions. Internal baffles and the outside windband effectively seal out the elements and prevent backdrafts. Special corrosion resistant bearings permit optional manual chain operated dampers to always move freely, even in the most corrosive industrial environments. ResoFLO gravity ventilators operate efficiently requiring virtually no maintenance expense while offering substantial savings in ventilation costs compared to power ventilators.
