Flat Sheet Laminate
Back to Electrical Products – Laminates

Glastic^® laminates offer a superior combination of electrical and mechanical properties such as dielectric strength, flame resistance, arc and track resistance, high-flexural strength and high-impact strength.

These sheets are fiberglass-reinforced thermoset polyester. They will not melt under heat and have excellent overall electrical properties. All grades are UL® recognized.

Glastic laminates also have superior consistency in thickness, punchability and property control. Add a high degree of quality and cost-effectiveness, and it is no wonder that Glastic laminates have helped make Glastic Corporation a leader in composite materials.

Electrical Insulation
All Glastic insulating laminates have inherently good dielectrics. The various grades of Glastic laminates featured here have been engineered to maximize the specific properties required for a wide range of electrical and electronic applications.

Flame Resistance
Flame resistance meeting UL 94V-O specifications is available in combination with a variety of properties.

Mechanical Strength
High-impact Glastic fiberglass-reinforced polyester laminates won't shatter. Rigid laminates provide structural support as they insulate. Flexible laminates are available for applications which require a minimum bend radius of 3/4'' diameter.

Sheet Sizes
Glastic laminates are available in the following sizes: 49-3/8'' x 96'', 36'' x 72'', 48'' x 60'' and
63-7/8'' x 63-7/8'' in thicknesses from 1/8'' to 1/4''. Custom lengths are available in 4' widths.

Custom Grades
Custom grades of laminates and colors are available. Please contact sales@iec-international.com for more information.
