Glastic

Electrical Grade Fiberglass Polyester

Glastic is a group of thermoset fiberglass-reinforced polyester insulating products produced by the Glastic company. This asbestos-free product line offers strength, excellent electrical properties and dimensional stability. Various grades feature flame resistance, high resistance to carbon tracking, flexibility, and high property retention under heat.

These products will not melt under heat and have excellent overall electrical properties. Glastic laminates have good dielectrics and have been engineered to maximize the specific properties required for a wide range of electrical and electronic applications. Because it is a fiberglass reinforced polyester laminate, this product won't shatter. Even at elevated temperatures, Glastic laminate offer good property retention and dimensional stability. Glastic is available in sheet, rod, and an extensive array of profiles.

The chart below outlines the standard commercial grades of the Glastic product line. Additional grades are available on a special order basis.
