Rooflite Gal Cool Product Description Rooflite Gal Cool is a specialized heat reducing fibre reinforced polyester sheeting, designed for industrial, commercial and domestic applications where maximum light transmission with minimal heat transfer is desirable. This product is produced using premium quality raw materials with the latest nano technology resins and surface films. Rooflite Gal Cool comes in one colour only and allows a light transmission of 40% and a solar transmittance reduction of up to 52.5% from standard plastic sheeting. This is achieved by the fusion of white pigment, polyester resin and micro nano spheres prior to our unique curing process. This process promotes, superior heat reflecting properties and is a clean, aesthetically pleasing product that enhances even light distribution. Rooflite Gal Cool contributes to providing a comfortable environment, and will help reduce energy costs associated with air conditioning and artificial lighting. Galaxy’s Rooflite Gal Cool can be purchased in both SC surface film with a 10 year warranty or Warranty Plus surface coating supplied with a 25 year warranty. Key Features
• Nano sphere technology • Provides substantial savings in energy costs • Superior long term reduction of solar heat transfer • Excellent long term weathering characteristics • Backed by up to 25 Year warranty *dependant on surface coating nominated, conditions apply. • Non delaminating surface technology • Resistant to degradation and embrittlement • Outstanding surface erosion resistance • Resistant to commonplace chemicals • Superior long term diffused light properties

FR 50 (Smoke Reduced Burn) The Galaxy Rooflite FR50 resin system has been specifically formulated for commercial and industrial building applications. The sheeting allows the transmission of natural light into the building while providing a fire/ smoke retardant feature at a minimal additional cost.
Rooflite FR50 is a quality translucent or opaque Fibre reinforced plastic sheet produced to meet the requirements where an improved reduction in smoke properties is required. The FR50 product is manufactured using a specific type of polyester resin designed for low smoke generation in the event of a fire
The Galaxy Rooflite FR50 resin system can be applied to the full range of Galaxy profiles in line with standard nominal weights. Typically, any of the Galaxy Rooflite surface coating systems, ST, Warranty Plus or Tufflite, are all, fully compatible with FR50 smoke reducing resin system. Special sheet sizes, profiles and colours can be produced, subject to commercial viability and colour pigment availability.
Galaxy FR50 can be confidently specified in your design plan to comply with the relevant standards. Galaxy Rooflite FR50 incorporates a specific smoke & flame retardant formulation and as a result will comply without restriction to the General Requirements of Class 2 to 9 buildings of the Building Code of Australia, Specification C1 .10

TuffLITE GC Fibreglass Roof sheet with a tough attitude! Product Description
• Galaxy Tufflite is a premium quality Industrial heavy woven glass Fibre Reinforced Polyester (FRP) sheet with
proven excellent long-term weathering properties.
Standard Weight: • 3660 gsm (Grams per Square Meter).
Available Profiles:
• Trimdek 5 rib, Corrugated, Speed-dek, etc. plus most superseded profiles are available. Colours: Ice Clear Opal
Ice Clear Opal
• Excellent long term weathering characteristics
• Superior 25 Year warranty *conditions apply
• Non delaminating surface technology
• Outstanding surface erosion resistance
• Marine environments
• Skylighting where safety mesh is not desirable
Tufflite can also be manufactured in various other resin base configurations to order. They are noted as, ST
(Standard Polyester) CR (Chemical Resistant), EFH (Low Smoke), or CRFR (Chemical Resistant and Fire
Retardant).
Tufflite SC Polyester resin based system with a continuous woven matt reinforcement matrix. Tufflite CR Isophthalic NPG chemical resistant resin system with a continuous woven matt reinforcement matrix. Tufflite EFH Low smoke resin system with a continuous woven matt reinforcement matrix. Fully complies with Building code specification C1.10 in particular AS1530.3: 1999. Tufflite CR, FR Vinyl ester resin base sheet with Isophthalic NPG premium chemical resistance with a continuous woven mat reinforcement matrix. Both CR & CRFR products withstand environments that corrode or destroy metal and many plastics in a short period of time. TuffLite CRFR provides additional protection where there are higher concentrations of alkaline and acids present.
Quality Galaxy Tufflite is manufactured in strict accordance with AS/NZS 4256 parts 1 & 3: 1994. Conformance Mark;CSI7004. All resins are UV stabilized to provide excellent resistance to UV degradation. If cleaned regularly the sheeting will retain its original bright appearance over many years. Galaxy Tufflite is an ideal cost effective alternative to traditional metal roofing systems. Tufflite has additional reinforcement with the use of a, continues heavy woven glass fibre matt. This is impregnated and cured into the resin matrix, which provides remarkable strength and protection in all directions. Galaxy Tufflite eliminates the requirement to use wire mesh below the sheet as Galaxy Tufflite passes the AS/NZS 4040.4:1996 Resistance to impact (Sandbag) for Sheet Roof Materials, as per the BCA requirement.
Test Reference Number C101104, Contact Galaxy Rooflite Technical Dept for a copy of the test results. The use of Galaxy Tufflite CR or CRFR is a practical advantage that will outlast conventional metal roofing when used in chemically aggressive and corrosive environments where the safety mesh and traditional steel cladding can rapidly deteriorate and be eroded away. Galaxy Tufflite CR takes away the need for safety mesh in corrosive environments. This is because Galaxy Tufflite CR features a unique chemical and corrosion-resistant resin system which is specifically designed for this type of environment.
