GLASFORMS™ ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Composite Materials for Power Transmission and Distribution Products APPLICATION & PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE KEY CHARACTERISTICS Extend the service life of electrical transmission and distribution products with Glasforms composite technologies. The formula: extensive electrical industry experience combined with pioneering composite technology expertise. Performance advantages: • Non-conductive: formulations engineered to optimize composite dielectric properties • Lightweight: up to 80% lighter than porcelain, reducing installation time and cost • High strength: high tensile, compressive, flexural and inter-laminar shear strength to support various design configurations and line loads • Flexible: deflect and return to original shape for load dampening to minimize damages and outages • Durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic and glass, and UV and corrosion resistant for long service life INSULATORS AND ARRESTERS OVERHEAD SWITCH RODS CROSSARMS AND BRACES COMPOSITE POLES GUY INSULATORS Electrical Transmission & Distribution Applications  COMPONENT DESCRIPTION SIZES Insulators for transmission and distribution Suspension insulators Epoxy/corrosion resistant glass rods .625" to 1.25" diameter Line post and station post insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 4.74" diameter Arresters Cage type Polyester or vinyl ester/glass fiber rods .125" to .50" diameter Custom tubular Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy/ glass fiber custom shapes 2.0" to 6.0" envelope size Pole line construction Conductor standoff and equipment support arms Polyester/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 2.00" diameter Guy strain insulators Polyester/glass fiber rods 0.50" to .812" diameter Cross arms Tangent and deadend, support braces Polyester/glass fiber rectangular tubes 3.62" x 4.62" and 4.0" x 6.0" rectangular Utility poles Composite poles Polyester/glass fiber hollow custom tubes 10" to 14" diameter, typical lengths 40' to 110' Pole line construction, cross arms, rods, and utility poles feature an integral fabric surfacing veil for long-term weather resistance and retention of properties.

Formulations are available with varying percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations to meet your structural requirements. A Complēt moisture resistant nylon 6/6 long glass fiber composite performed similarly to a specialty PA 6/12 material at time intervals equivalent to short-term water exposure and noticeably better than a standard PA 6/6 formulation. LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE AESTHETICS Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain without high mold temperatures that lengthen cycle times.

In solvolysis, the chain length of matrix polymers is reduced toward monomers while removing the matrix from the fibers so that both the fibers and matrix chemical products can be recovered. Composites can be ground into small particles for use as engineered fillers or maintained at larger scales where fibers remain of reasonable length to be reused as fiber reinforcement in their next life.   To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.
