Covering of mandrels with cardboard is not advised and must be reviewed by the Engineer prior to start of fabrication. .3 Certain construction details shown on the Manufacturer’s Shop Drawings assume the availability of specific tooling and/or moulds. Alternate mould configurations may be considered by the Engineer in the interest of cost savings or betterment. Any deviations from the dimensions shown on the Manufacturer’s Shop Drawings must be reviewed by the Engineer prior to the start of fabrication. Fabricate laminates in accordance with the following: .1 Reinforce inner surface with resin-rich surfacing veil 0.25 mm to 0.50 mm thick. .2 Construct interior layer of resin reinforced with at least two plies of chopped strand mat: minimum thickness 2.5 mm. .3 Glass content of combined inner surface and interior layer to 27 percent ±5 percent. .4 Use positive methods to assure uniform total thickness of the laminate and uniform glass-to-resin ratio without surplus resin or unsaturated glass. Ensure specified glass content is in accordance with ASTM D2584. .5 Interruptions in laminating sequence must only occur after exotherm plies (E or e). If an exotherm interruption becomes otherwise necessary, ensure it follows the application of a ply of mat and is succeeded by a ply of mat. .6 Do not exceed 24 hours during laminating sequence interruptions. Retain acetone of the in-process surface until laminating is resumed. Lack of compliance with these procedures, or any indication that contamination of the surface has occurred, will require that surface preparation be accomplished before resuming. Before resuming lamination, touch-grind any rough areas or projections to allow full contact of the succeeding wet laminate. .7 An exotherm interruption is specifically prohibited within the corrosion liner. Limit an exotherm interruption between the corrosion liner and the structural layers to a maximum of four hours. .8 Chopped strand glass applied by chopper gun is allowed in lieu of mat layers in the structural laminates only. Mechanically control the application in order to assure uniform thickness and glass-to-resin ratio.

The surface must retain acetone sensitivity until the structural laminate is applied. Lack of compliance to either of these will cause rejection of the corrosion liner. .5 Do not use a separately cured unreinforced gel coat. Roll each ply Contact moulding .1 Unless otherwise specified or approved, contact moulding fabrication is in conformance with ASTM D4097. .2 Sequence of lay-up P:\60333466\400-Technical\415 Contract Documents\Current\Division 13\13200 FRP General Requirements.doc Regional District of Nanaimo FCPCC Trickling Filter Roof Replacement Project No. 60333466 FRP GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Section 13200 Page 9 of 14 March 2015 .1 Provide an interior surface corrosion barrier consisting of the specified laminate. Laminate thickness is 2.5 mm minimum. Do not use a separately cured unreinforced gel coat. .2 Unless otherwise specified, provide an interior surface resin rich, smooth and reinforced with a 0.25 mm to 0.50 mm Type C glass surfacing veil saturated with resin. .3 Cover the interior surface layer with a minimum of 0.90 kg/m2 of chopped strand mat and resin in two plies of 0.05 kg/m2 mat saturated with resin. .4 Allow corrosion liner laminate consisting of the layers specified to gel. .5 For laminates 5 mm nominal thickness, mat plies or spray-up continue as required with adequate rollout between the application of each chopped pass or mat. .6 For laminates 5 mm nominal and thicker, mat (0.05 kg/m2) or spray-up and woven roving (0.80 kg/m2 5 by 4 weave) is applied to the total required to achieve the desired nominal thickness. Two adjacent plies of woven roving is not permitted. Each ply or pass is separately rolled out. Reinforcement for laminates having a nominal thickness of 5 mm will include at least one ply of woven roving. .7 If interruption of laminate buildup is required for exotherm, such interruption is permitted only after every third ply of woven roving has been laid. .8 Corrosion barrier consists of a two-pass chop, Type C glass veil and resin as specified. Exterior surfaces of FRP specialties not exposed to corrosive environments is Type C glass veil and resin, 0.40 mm minimum thickness. .9 Ensure that the outer surface of the fabricated product is relatively smooth and has no exposed glass fibres exposed. .10 Incorporate paraffin for full cure in the final coat of resin. .11 Lap all edges of reinforcement material 25 mm minimum for mat and 50 mm minimum for woven roving.

Glass content of this portion of the laminate is 25 to 30 percent by weight. For laminates 12 mm and thicker, the nominal 2.5 mm layer is a thickness of at least 2.2 mm after curing. .4 Subsequent reinforcing is resin-saturated, continuous roving, as may be required to satisfy all other requirements of this Specification. .5 Additional chopped roving and/or unidirectional roving resin may be sprayed up between winding cycles to provide improved resistance to interlaminar shear. This will result in a wall thickness greater than specified. .6 For each complete cycle of filament winding, form a closed pattern of winding bands which completely covers the surface with two bi-directional layers. For each layer use a maximum of one roving in thickness. For singular cycles do not exceed a thickness of 1.3 mm, unless otherwise specified in the pertinent equipment sections. .7 Unless otherwise specified or approved, provide a 55° helix angle of winding as measured from the centerline of revolution of the component shell. Tolerance on helix angle is +2°, unless otherwise noted. .8 If for any reason, winding is interrupted to the point where the outer surface is gelled or exotherm temperatures are excessive, stop production and allow the laminate to cure. Grind smooth any prominent ridges left on the cured surface. Following the grinding, apply a bedding layer of 0.23 kg/m2 mat or chopped glass and thoroughly roll to remove air. Winding with continuous strand may be resumed before this layer gels. The additional mat layer is extra material and will result in a wall thickness greater than that specified. .9 Ensure no glass fibres are exposed on the outer surface. .10 Incorporate a paraffin for full cure in the final coat of resin. .11 Ensure that cut edges exposed to the chemical environment have a chemical resistant liner consisting of two mats and a veil. No cloth or woven roving is permitted for this purpose. .12 Seal all cut edges on parts which will make up a secondary joint to be incorporated into a finished product first with at least two coats of lay-up resin. .4 Surface preparation P:\60333466\400-Technical\415 Contract Documents\Current\Division 13\13200 FRP General Requirements.doc Regional District of Nanaimo FCPCC Trickling Filter Roof Replacement Project No. 60333466 FRP GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Section 13200 Page 11 of 14 March 2015 .1 Prior to starting secondary overlays, ensure adequate surface abrasion with no surface contamination.
