GPO 1, 2 & 3 are made by combining random-laid glass fibers saturated with polyester resin and combined with suitable fillers. Choose from three polyester glass-mat-sheet laminate grades GPO-1, GPO-2, and GPO-3. Both GPO-1 and 2 and UL recognized.

• GPO-1 laminates are suitable for general purpose applications
• GPO-2 laminates are for applications where flame resistance is required
• GPO-3 laminates are used where resistance to carbon tracking and flame resistance are required

Typical Applications

• Transformer support wedges
• Terminal blocks
• Arc barriers
• Arc chutes
• Switch plates
• Transit Industry

SAFRAIL™ Ladder & Cage Systems

SAFRAIL™ is a ladder and cage system made from a premium grade polyester resin system with flame retardant and UV inhibitors. A vinyl ester resin system is available when additional corrosion resistance is needed. OSHA safety yellow is used for side rails and cages. The rungs are a pultruded fiberglass with a non-skid surface.

Composite Fiberglass

Wesliner is a fiberglass polyester thermoset composite material that demonstrates excellent physical, thermal, and chemical resistant properties in a wide range of applications. Wesliner is UL classified with a flame spread of 25 while exhibiting excellent “”splash & spill”” corrosion resistance to acids, bases, and hydrocarbons.

Wesliner has been the material of choice for laboratory fume hood liners and is suitable in any application requiring heat resistance, chemical resistance, and excellent mechanical properties while providing a desired aesthetic appearance.
