Versitex® VX3
- Chemical Family
- PolyolefinsPolypropylenes (PP)
Versitex® VX3 is a cost-effective thermoplastic liner comprised of polypropylene resin reinforced with continuous bi-directional glass fibers to create high impact resistant panels. It resists rot, corrosion, and mildew and is not affected by cleaning related chemicals. Versitex VX Series wall panels provide significant energy absorption over traditional FRP panels and exhibit thermal expansion similar to aluminum. The bi-directional nature of Versitex provides consistent physical properties throughout the entire panel. Versitex is easily repaired by applying low heat.

- Acceptability
Versitex VX provides a smooth, clean, esthetically pleasing finished installation. Occasional processing marks are a common manufacturing occurrence and do not affect the quality or functionality of the product. US Liner must be notified within one (1) business day of any Versitex panels deemed unacceptable in appearance. Upon verification of unacceptability, US Liner will replace that portion of the material and related freight, but not labor, handling or installation expenses.

- Fabrication and installation recommendations
- Versitex VX can be sheared, sawed, routed and drilled.
- Cutting
- Versitex VX Series can be cut with a circular saw with a carbide-tipped blade.
- Production Fabricating
- Use carbide-tipped tools. Straight cuts can be sheared or sawed. For irregular cuts, use a die punch or band saw.
- Fasteners
- It is advisable to install Versitex VX Series with mechanical fasteners. Self-drilling and self-tapping specialty screws are available from US Liner.
- Note
- Caution must be used when cutting banding off coil due to spring-back of material. Always protect eyes with goggles; cover nose and mouth with a filter mask when cutting Versitex panels.
