Skin irritation due to glass fibers may be avoided by applying a barrier cream to exposed skin areas prior to working with corrugated panels.
Corrugated panels are translucent laminates consisting of a uniform mat of high strength glass fibers imbedded in organic resin. The resin matrix cures under heat to a solid material which is lightweight, strong, and shatter-resistant, with excellent light diffusion characteristics. Colors are compounded into the resin before cure, thus making the colors as integral part of the composite material.
