Glass Reinforced Polyester Sheet
Gpo 3 is a glass reinforced thermoset polyester sheet material.
Glass reinforced polyester sheet. Glass reinforced polyester grp modern industries demand structural materials that are lightweight strong and versatile evaporating materials that resist corrosion and temperature extremes and which deliver freedom of design and low system costs. The ideal solution is a family of structural fibre reinforced thermostets. Glass polyester is a glass mat reinforced polyester. Gpo 3 is also used for mechanical applications where strength stiffness dimensional stability and relatively low cost are required.
They are a useful group of materials that fall in price and performance between paper and cotton fabric laminates and high performance woven glass types. When frp is molded into shapes the geometry of the shape imparts physical properties to the parts such as strength and stiffness. Tufnol polyester glass mat laminates are produced by combining polyester resin with continuous roving glass mat. Glass reinforced polyester gpo 3 laminate sheet 16 this grade is typically available in 36 by 72 sheet sizes.
The silicone rubber coating protects against sparks and molten metal splash. Gpo 1 is a cost effective general purpose laminate. Two grades are available offering compliance with nema types gpo 2 nema gpo 3 and din 7735 type hm 2471. Made from thicker and denser fiberglass than standard spark resistant sleeving this sleeving is more abrasion resistant and provides better insulation.
It is a solid choice for applications in which good electrical properties good physical strength and moderate heat resistance are required.

It comes in a number of forms including glastic sheet glastic channels glastic angles the glastic standoff insulator rod tube and film. The back up laminate consists of layers of glass fiber and polyester resin. Glass polyester is a fiberglass reinforced polyester resin laminate commonly used in mechanical applications and is one of the most commonly used electrical insulation materials. The formglas frp composite material has a class 1 or a fire rating.
Gpo 3 is a glass mat reinforced thermoset polyester molded sheet which is both arc and track resistant. Gpo 3 is strong stiff dimensionally stable and impact resistant. Gpo 2 is the laminate of choice when arc or flame resistance is required.
