Glastic® 1580
Flame resistant polyester sheet.
Glastic® 1580 is a laminate and offers a superior combination of electrical and mechanical properties. Made from fiberglass-reinforced thermoset polyester resins, these ULc-recognized sheets blend excellent performance characteristics with economy.
Glastic 1580 is impact fiberglass-reinforced polyester laminates won’t shatter. Rigid laminates provide structural support as they insulate. Flexible laminates are available for applications that require a minimum bend radius of 19mm diameter.
Glastic laminates offer excellent property retention and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. These laminates have UL temperature index ratings from 120 – 210°C electrical, and from 130 –210°C mechanical.
These materials are easily fabricated with standard metal working equipment. They can be punched, drilled, machined, sheared and sanded. Grade 1580 punches cleanly and quickly.
In addition to significant property benefits, Glastic laminates offer cost effectiveness over most high-pressure laminates. They outperform the phenolic grades and can often replace the more exotic epoxies and silicones at a considerable cost savings.
