TRANSLUCENT SHEETS
Known as Skylights. It is used to utilize day light and save energy, a day light transmitting capacity with these sheets are 70-80%. GRP Translucent sheets are molded to roof and wall profile. Particular care is taken to avoid air pockets to increase the life of translucent sheets.

This sheets are formed from U.V. Stabilized Polyester Resin Reinforced with Glass Fibers (GRP) on a fully automated continous production process providing FLAT and CORRUGATED Sheeting to suit most roofing and vertical cladding profiles of protected metal , aluminium & asbestos.

It combines a high degree of light transmission with an even diffusion of light and is suitable for providing natural daylight in many applications such as Factories, Warehouses and Agricultural buildings (greenhouses)

It is also used in many other applications including Canopies, Swimming Pool covers, Vertical Glazing, Partitioning and suspended Ceilings.

APPEARANCE
Standard sheets are natural color translucent, colored tinted sheets can be produced subject to commercial viability and pigment availability.

PROFILES
Full range of corrugated sections is available to suit protected, aluminium, metal and asbestos, roofing and vertical cladding, special profiles can be produced on a minimum quantity basis.

SIZES
Length of the sheets is continuously manufactured and may be cut to any length. The projected width (which is measured up, down and across the corrugations) will match the roofing panels.

WEIGHTS
Standard weight for most roofing & vertical cladding panels is 1.83 kg/m².

ACCESSORIES
Roof Curbs, Double Skin Units, Gutters, Down Spouts

GRADES
General Purpose: UV stabilized, in accordance to BS 4154 PART 1-1985, The general purpose GRP sheets provides an exceptional life and durability under the GULF climate conditions.

Fire Rates (Self Extinguish): in accordance with BS 476 CLASS 1

Surface Protection: Integrated surface protection film (Melinex Polyester Film, from ICI Industrial Films) providing an exceptional durability and extra wear layer which extends the life of the GRP sheet. It is available on request for exterior or both sides.

DURABILITY
To Maintain and Extend sheets life and durability, sheets must be periodically (once in a year) cleaned by using water and detergent. It is also recommended to do a periodical maintenance every 4 to 5 years by applying a coat of ACRYLIC or POLYESTER LACQUER.

BLIND RIVETS
MEI offers the most widely used Pop Blind rivets which are suitable for most applications. These blind rivets are made of 99.5% pure aluminium material composition to meet international standards. The selected blind rivets should be compatible with the materials being joined, and the joined strength will determine the spacing of the blind rivets. The rivets are engineered for a range of material thickness for which it will be effective.

PURLIN TAPES
Description: A polyethylene coated water proof cloth tape with a pressure sensitive adhesive.

Colour: Grey

Uses: General purpose waterproof cloth tape for sealing, bonding, masking and protecting. Particularly suitable for preventing bi-metallic corrosion of dissimilar materials.

Application: It will adhere at once when pressed against almost any clean, dry surface i.e. free from dust, oil, grease or moisture.

Main Features: Metal separator and waterproof cloth tape with excellent adhesion and strength.

Average Properties:

The properties given are average values except where otherwise stated. This information sheet should be used in conjunction with Product Technical Specification to asses the suitability of the product for the intended application.

The rolls of tape must be stored flat on their cut edges in the original packing, until required for use, and must be protected for dust, heat, moisture, direct sunlight, corrosive and solvent fumes. Under these conditions, the storage life of the tape in a temperature climate will be not less than two years. Storage in more severe eg. Tropical climates reduces the storage life and in the worst conditions, it is not recommend storage for more than six months.

These recommendations are based on a combination of experience and laboratory testing. User conditions, even for common application differ considerably. For this reason, users are recommended to test the tape for its suitability in their particular application. MEI Technical Department would be glad to assist customers with simulated testing.

Description: Polythene coated cloth tape with pressure sensitive adhesive.

BUTYL TAPES
It is used in roofing, cladding, gutter joints, side/end laps, joining single skin roof light etc. It is available in the blending of cross-linked butyl and inert fillers extruded into strips or braid to form a roll with paper backing. The application is so easy to achieve best results

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This is composed of synthetic rubbers, plasticizers and inert fillers. The plasticizers have carefully chosen so that they are compatible with the polymer base commonly known as "Inseal Tapes".

It is fairly soft sealant tape which has good initial adhesion to many surfaces. It does not exude oils or platicizers, remaining stable over a wide temperature range. It is available as an extrusion on paper backing in a wide range of sizes and shapes, details of which are available on request.

AREAS OF USE
This can be used in various building and construction applications such as air, dust or water seals for compression joints. It may also be used in mechanically fixed lap joints such as those found within roofing and cladding.

Other areas include:

· Duct flanges
· Glazing unit to frame seals
· Commercial vehicle bodies
· Sound deadening pads in bumpers

METHOD OF APPLICATION
It is available in the form of an extruded strip on a siliconized release paper.

The surfaces should be clean, dry and free from oil or grease. When using extruded strip, the material should be applied to one surface, the backing paper removed and the other surface brought into contact.

Contact MEI Technical Department for further details.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
There are no known hazards associated with this type of product. When using the material the usual standards of cleanliness and hygiene should be exercised.

SB-Flex ® PE

Description:
SB-Flex ® PE grey is a close cellular polyethylene foam produced by continued extruding. This soft product has a coating and due to its fine-porous character it is extremely elastic.

Application: SB-Flex ® PE grey is mostly used in the construction industry as sealing string of similar or even different materials as pre-filling compound. Due to its neutrality, it can be used without reservation with absorbent materials.

Profiles: SB-Flex ® PE grey is produced in standard design to suit various profiles with a thickness of 50mm

Processing: Expansion joint construction must be executed according to DIN 18540 of the building industry. SB-Flex ® PE grey fulfills this Din condition.

When fitting the profiles in the joint construction, it must be overlooked that the profile is compressed by 25% and that no sharp-edged tool is used, otherwise the surface will be damaged.

CAM-LOCKS
We offer Camlocks mold to our Cold Store Panels which include Pin (to put the cams on the molds), Locks and Gaskets, to ensure that no Polyurethane foam goes into the camlock mold. The polyurethane foam is resistant to thermal conductivity. The Camlock along with side of the panel enables it to hold the panels together and ensure the stability for a long period.
