Polyester Fibreglass Dogbone Pultrusions

Superior Physical and Electrical Properties

Glastic® dogbone pultrusions are made from fibreglass-reinforced thermoset polyester.  The continuous-filament fibreglass roving of each solid dogbone provides excellent strength.  All dogbone pultrusions feature:

High physical strength
Excellent dielectric properties
Dimensional stability
Resistance to common solvents
Heat resistance
High strength to weight ratio
Low water absorption

Grade MTS
Most economical system for electrical use; designed for 155°C service, 50 000 psi tensile and 80 000 psi flexural strength.

Grade SG-200
Highest temperature - rated for 210°C service.  Excellent thermal endurance.  Ideal replacement for silicone rod.
