In the constant pursuit of improving on existing technology, US Liner has produced the next generation reinforced thermo composite material called Versitex. Superior protection at affordable prices is our promise.
Versitex is made using an entirely new manufacturing process. Non-woven continuous glass fibers are impregnated with polypropylene and laminated together to create a 0/90° bi-directional structure that has excellent physical and mechanical properties, plus one more critical advantage: price.
Versitex is priced about the same as conventional fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP). Yet, its mechanical properties are far superior. In addition, Versitex is:
- Completely recyclable (No Styrenes)
- Resistant to rot, corrosion and mildew
- Not affected by cleaning chemicals
- Easy to cut, install and repair
Standard Versitex panels are available in several different configurations and thicknesses to suit a variety of applications. Thickness of sheets is based on the number of layers that are laminated together.

Versitex Specifications
VERSITEX is a thermoplastic liner comprised of polypropylene resin reinforced with continuous bi-directional glass fiber. It resists rot, corrosion and mildew and is not affected by cleaning-related chemicals. Versitex panels provide significant energy absorption over traditional FRP panels and exhibit thermal expansion/contraction value close to aluminum. The bi-directional nature of Versitex provides consistent physical properties throughout the entire panel. Versitex panels are easily repaired by applying low heat.
VERSITEX is available in two different forms. Standard wall panels, designated Versitex VX; and foam-protective panels (Versitex VR), which include a thin scrim liner material that promotes adhesion of insulating or sound- and vibration-damping foams.
