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 multiple 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
E23
Any Series 500, 525 and 625 EXTREN® product can be manufactured upon request to meet the mechanical and physical properties, as well as the dimensional and visual requirements of BS EN 13706 (E23) European standards. All standard EXTREN® products meet and/or exceed the structural requirements of E17 European standards.
