COMPOSOLITE® is a patented advanced composite building panel system suitable for major load bearing structural applications. The modular construction system consists of a small number of interlocking fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) structural components produced by the pultrusion process. The main building panel is 3″ thick x 24″ wide (80mm x 605mm) nominal size and features a cellular construction. Panels can be connected using the 3-way connectors, 45-degree connectors, toggles and/or hangers. This uniquely designed system of interlocking components makes it possible to design fiberglass structures at significantly lower costs for a broad range of construction applications. COMPOSOLITE® structures can be designed in “kit form” and shipped flat to the job site.
System Design
COMPOSOLITE® is a system of five interlocking components manufactured of pultruded fiberglass reinforced polymer. The system combines manufacturing simplicity with an almost unlimited number of configurations. The COMPOSOLITE® panel features integrally molded longitudinal grooves into which a connector or toggle is inserted during assembly. 3-way and 45-degree connectors allow the system components to turn corners and facilitate the joining of walls or sides. Toggles lock panels and connectors together securely. For added flexibility, the system also includes a hanger and an end cap. For permanent structures, joints between panels and connectors are bonded during assembly. Adhesive is applied along the length of the panel and connector. The toggle, to which adhesive is not applied, is then inserted to mechanically secure the components and create even pressure along the length of the joint until the adhesive between the panel and connector cures.
