Product Introduction
GPO3 laminate sheet also known as UPGM 203, it is alkali-free fiberglass mat dipped into unsaturated polyester resin adding relevant chemical agent as the basic material pressed under high temperature press into rigid panel as insulating material. This material has good electrical property under high humidity and high mechanical property under medium temperature, it with very nice fire retardant property, good arc resistance and tracking resistance. It's widely used in the low & medium voltage electrical industries such as making of phase and end barriers, insulating supports, bus bar supports and mounting panels in switch-gear and other types of electrical apparatus.
Feature of this material as below
1,Good flatness, it has smooth surface of normal sheet and with the standard thickness tolerances.
2,Low water absorption and good dielectric properties .
3,Stable electrical insulating properties, good electrical properties in dry or wet conditions.
4,High mechanical strength, good processability Punching, Drilling, Machining and Cutting , it can be grinded by machine to meet better thickness tolerance .
5,Good mechanical workability.
