Fib-R-Dor Fiberglass Doors and...
Every plant in the world fights a daily battle
against an age old enemy . . . Corrosion
It’s everywhere you look. Part of the United States is even referred to as the
“Rust Belt”. Huge percentages of annual maintenance budgets are being
used to scrape, paint and replace assets that have fallen victim to corrosion.
These harsh environments are no match against Chase’s Fib-R-Dor
doors and Durulite® CR1400 rotationally molded, cross-linked polyethylene
doors.
Fib-R-Dor and Durulite CR1400 doors are designed for use in extremely
corrosive environments, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, food
processing, water and wastewater treatment, chemical manufacturing,
cleanrooms, oil refineries, theme parks, pulp and paper mills and any other
application where doors are subject to severe corrosive conditions. Fib-R-Dor
and CR1400 doors can also be used as an alternative to stainless steel and
hollow metal doors in schools, institutional and government facilities, saving
thousands of dollars in replacement and maintenance costs.

are available with up to 90 minute fire labels, are certified
to meet the Florida Building Code Standards, and have far
surpassed the ANSI One Million Cycle Test.
Durulite CR1400 Corrosion Resistant Door Systems
In high abuse interior applications, consider the Durulite
CR1400 corrosion resistant door system. The CR1400 is
impervious to acids, petroleum products, animal fats and
cleaning solvents, and will take a punch like no other door
system. The door panel is constructed using rotational
molding technology, creating a one-piece outer skin of high
density, cross-linked polyethylene. The interior core is ultrahigh density urethane foam. This combination results in a
panel that will absorb impact and perform well in the most
difficult conditions.

Fib-R-Dor’s Unique Manufacturing Process
Fib-R-Dor utilizes a unique “outside-in” manufacturing
process, creating a highly durable panel with no seams,
gaps or potential failure points. Designed for use in
facilities that require regular cleaning with harsh chemicals,
the seamless construction eliminates particulate “catch”
points that make traditional doors difficult to sanitize. The
entire exterior of the door panel is molded fiberglass with a
permanent bond to the core material, ensuring a beautiful,
durable, low maintenance door that will last an extremely
long time. Fib-R-Dor fiberglass door color is a molded gel
coat finish, so it will never corrode, need to be painted or
discolor like steel and aluminum doors.
The Door Edge Advantage
The unique panel manufacturing technique is one of the
key differences offered by Fib-R-Dor when it comes to panel
durability. All Fib-R-Dor panels have a molded fiberglass
edge that is chemically welded to the door skins, making
it up to 3 times stronger than tubular or channel door
designs. Competitors use glue to attach the face sheets to
tubes or channels, resulting in a potential separation point
over time. The Fib-R-Dor method of permanently welding
the edge of the door to the skins creates a one-piece
exterior shell that will not peel, separate or delaminate.
The Door Frame Advantage
By design, the Fib-R-Dor pultruded frame system
conforms to industry standards in shape and
installation methods. The durable, corrosion resistant
frame is constructed with FRP pultruded material in
performance with Steel Door Institute standards. The
corners are mitered with no exposed fasteners for a
clean finish. Additional reinforcement can be added
if required by the application or to accommodate
specialty hardware. A variety of configurations and
mounting options are also available, allowing Fib-RDor products to be installed on concrete, brick, block,
foam panel, drywall and tilt-up wall systems.
Installation is Fast and Easy
All Fib-R-Dor panels are CNC machined to fit
perfectly in their matching frames. Fib-R-Dor panels
are made to Steel Door Institute dimensions and
standards, making installation of Fib-R-Dor door
systems fast and easy. As a door system that battles
rust, corrosion, fire and hurricanes, Fib-R-Dor is an
extremely valuable component in a wide range of
markets and applications!

panic devices, push/pull handles, kick plates, louvers, flush bolts, astragals, bottom sweeps and weather-stripping.
Even special colors and textures can be produced.
Fib-R-Dor Features:
• Door Surface – Requires no painting or finishing, the mirror-
smooth gel coated fiberglass panels are constructed with impact
resistant, premium grade resins. The resin is reinforced with handlaid glass fibers that are integrally molded creating a corrosion
resistant, one-piece seamless exterior surface. The gel coat finish
is so beautiful that no one would ever know the punishment it
can withstand from harsh corrosive elements such as chemicals,
cleaning agents, repeated washdowns, saltwater and even severe
weather. Standard colors are white, gray, brown and tan in a high
gloss or pebble finish. Optional colors are also available, please
contact factory.
• Door Core – Fib-R-Dor is available with a variety of cores
including polypropylene honeycomb, end grain balsa, urethane
foam and gypsum for fire rated doors. (Seeimagesbelow)
• Door Edge – Multiple layers of pigmented resin are chemically
welded to the face sheets, creating a monolithic one-piece
exterior. Standard nominal thickness is 3/8”. This design combined
with steel reinforcement plates buried beneath the fiberglass
at hinge locations easily supports the weight of the door. Door
edges are CNC machined for an accurate fit and smoothness.
• Hinges – Full mortise stainless steel hinges are standard.
Continuous hinges, hospital hinges and other specialty hinges are
available.
• Frame – A variety of frame options including pultruded fiberglass
and stainless steel are available. Fib-R-Dor offers several common
fiberglass frames for installation on most wall conditions including
insulated panel walls. In addition, stainless steel frames can be
manufactured to your specific jamb requirements.
Polypropylene Honeycomb
is lightweight and extremely
durable, and is commonly used
as a core for doors installed in
pharmaceutical applications.
800.FIBRDOR or 800.342.7367
End Grain Balsa provides superior
strength, and is recognized as one of the
most versatile core materials for sandwich
construction. This closed cell material is
non-absorptive, and extremely strong
with an 11 lb. density rating. Balsa is also
an environmentally friendly, ecological
resource core material.
Urethane Foam has excellent
insulating qualities, plus it
is known for sound control,
low permeability and helps
to prevent mold and mildew
growth.

Fire Rated Doors
When fire rated doors and
frames are required, Fib-R-Dor
has the solution. Fib-R-Dor
fire rated door systems meet
and exceed both neutral and
positive pressure fire rated
labels. Available with 20, 30, 45,
60 and 90 minute labels.
Neutral Pressure Fire Doors
Fib-R-Dor corrosion resistant door systems are available with 20, 30, 45, 60 and
90 minute labels and meet the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. “Standard for
Fire Tests of Door Assemblies, UL 10B” and UL 305 Standard for Safety “Panic
Hardware”.
When doors are tested under the neutral pressure testing method, the test
chamber is vented so the neutral plane is above the door. This scenario does
not allow pressure to build-up in the room, so air actually enters the room
around the door edges, reducing the chance of flames igniting the outside
door and surface.
Positive Pressure Fire Doors
Fib-R-Dor corrosion resistant door systems are also available with 20, 30, 45, 60
and 90 minute labels by Warnock-Hersey with UBC 7-2-1997 and UL 10c NFPA
252 for positive pressure fire rated doors.
Under positive pressure, the test is performed with the neutral plane 40”
above the floor. This method causes hot gases to be forced out around the
edge of the door, making it easier for flames to transfer to the outer door
and surface. To prevent flames from transferring, Fib-R-Dor fire door utilizes
intumescent seals. Intumescent seals expand under heat, filling the gap
between the door and frame. The intumescent seals can be molded in during
the manufacturing process or applied on the surface of the door.

Storm Rated Doors and Certifications
Fib-R-Dor fiberglass door systems meet Florida building code approval, ASTM standard for Airblast Loading and
GSA test for Dynamic Overpressure Loadings. Plus at 2 million and counting, Fib-R-Dor has far surpassed the ANSI
One Million Cycle Test!
Fib-R-Dor door systems meet and
exceed the stringent requirements
of the Florida Building Code (FBC),
International Residential Code
(IRC), and the Texas Department
of Insurance for hurricane rated
openings. The International Building
Code (IBC) and International
Residential Code (IRC) are the
model codes for the 2007 Florida
Building Code and the soon to be
adopted 2010 Florida Building Code.
Contained within the building code
are specific sections relating to
design pressure calculation, testing
and evaluation of products to be
used in hurricane prone regions.
Chapter 16 of the Florida Building Code stipulates that the wind loads on every building be determined in
accordance with ASCE 7. ASCE 7 determines design pressures for components and cladding used on building
envelopes based on parameters such as geographic location, wind speed, importance of the building use and
location of the opening on the building and size of the opening.
ASTM E1886/1996 is a standard that was created to ensure that products installed in coastal regions will provide
adequate protection against the extreme weather conditions that are common with a hurricane. To meet the ASTM
E1886/1996 standard, the door system must act as a barrier to water, maintain structural integrity under high wind
conditions, including cycling from extreme positive to extreme negative pressures, and pass a “missile test” where a
projectile is fired at the door panel at a high rate of speed.
Fib-R-Dor “FBC Series” is approved for use in the State of Florida under
Florida Product Approval # FL14551 and meets the following codes:
ASTM Test
ASTM E1886 - Impact testing by missile and cyclic
pressure differential test
ASTM E1996 - Large missile impact testing
ASTM E330 - Wind load testing of windows and
doors by static air pressure difference
ASTM E331- Water penetration testing

Durulite CR1400 Utilizes Rotational
Molding Technology
Chase Doors invented the roto-molded door in 1976. Since that time, we have sold over a half million rotationally
molded doors and our manufacturing process is second to none. The Durulite CR1400 utilizes the rotationally
molded manufacturing process and is extremely durable.
The process starts by placing a specific amount of colored
plastic resin into an aluminum mold. The mold is then closed
and attached to a long arm on an automated molding
machine. The mold first moves into an oven chamber and
then slowly spins on two axis, causing resin to melt and
adhere to the inside of the hot mold. After the proper
amount of “cooking time,” the mold swings to the next
station where air is used to cool down the mold, allowing
the material to set as it continues to spin–assuring an even
wall thickness. When it is completely cooled, it swings to
the original station where the mold is opened and a hollow
door shell is removed. The rotational speed, heating and
cooling times are all controlled throughout the process.
The end result is a seamless, one piece high density crosslinked polyethylene door shell that is naturally resilient and
is impervious to acids, petroleum products, animal fats and
cleaning solvents.
Large oven used to “cook” Durulite CR1400 doors.
After cooling is complete, the hollow panel is
put into a hydraulic press where it is injected
with NON-CFC urethane foam, which completely
fills the cavity inside the hollow door shell. The
foam provides a variety of benefits, including
thermal insulating characteristics and increased
shock absorbency. The Durulite CR1400 will retain
an attractive appearance in the most difficult
conditions.
