PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GlasArmor™ thermoset panels are constructed
from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber
reinforcements with a proprietary resin system.
Be sure to wear
appropriate safety equipment including safety
glasses and dust masks when fabricating.
3.
When
covering a sensitive substructure such as glass,
shim the panels 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) to prevent
impact shock damage.
