Roof performance

Built for more than weather

CargoBright™ is the new brand name for Tekmodo’s proven translucent roof panels. For years, Tekmodo has supplied translucent roof coils and panels to leading transportation manufacturers, in flexible and rigid constructions and a range of thicknesses.

CargoBright™ combines the visibility of a translucent roof with the durability required for transportation applications.

Its composite construction is designed to stand up to puncture, abrasion and impact while resisting moisture and UV exposure. Controlled light transmission remains an advantage—not the only reason to specify it.

01

Puncture resistance

Reinforced composite construction designed to resist concentrated loads and everyday roof hazards.

02

Abrasion resistance

A smooth, durable exterior surface designed for handling, installation and service exposure.

03

Impact resistance

Falling Dart / Gardner testing shows no cracking at impact energy of 5 J or greater.
