It looks like Simons 501050001 which is an Emafyl one. :wink:

Never used it but I do have a sample and it looks like good stuff. :D

Oh dear, was hoping for something in wood as it is needed to carry a 1650 x 757 mirror. Being a bit more flexible, plastics tend to show a bit of sag on the wider frames.

Going by the sample it's fairly robust. It's like a girder. I don't think it would bend too far.
From the outside it's hard to tell it is plastic.
You could always beef it up with some PSE pine.
Or a sheet of 6mm ply fixed on top of the back.
