  • UL Recognized
  • Highly Flame Resistant
  • Arc & Track Resistant
  • Uncommon Dimensional Stability
  • Strong & Durable; Yet Easily Cut & Chamfered
  • Cost-Effective

Glastic® Grade UTR Pultruded Tubing is a fiberglass reinforced thermoset polyester composite in a pultruded tube. It is recognized by Underwriters Laboratories. Glastic Grade UTR Pultruded Tubing is flame resistant, track resistant. and it has a UL index rating of 130°C electrical and 160°C mechanical.

Glastic Grade UTR tubing exhibits uncommon dimensional stability. It is impervious to high humidity or immersion. Grade UTR is also strong and durable (with a burst strength of 1200 psi to 1400 psi); yet it is easily chamfered and cut with carbide or diamond saws.

Glastic Pultruded Tubing Composites are ideal for numerous tubing applications, and commonly used for a wide variety of fuses, from simple 15 amp fuses to heavy-duty 600 amp fuses. They are available in virtually any length or size in the standard color black; yet they can be customized to accommodate a range of other color preferences.

1. Tubes are tested for porosity by applying water pressure for 60 seconds to the inside. No streams of water should be visible at the listed pressure.

2. NEMA LI-1 specifies arc resistance of 150 seconds on a .125" thick sample. Thinner sections exhibit lower arc resistance.
