Glastic®
UTR Arc/Track & Flame Resistant Laminate is a mineral filled,
continuous strand fiberglass-mat-reinforced thermoset unsaturated
polyester material. It has been expressly developed to meet the
arc, track and flame resistance requirements of the National Electric
Manufacturers Association (NEMA) GPO-3 Industrial Laminate Specification
(LI-1) and the physical and electrical strength requirements of
(NEMA) GPO-3 (LI-1).
The mineral filler system was also specially designed to suppress
smoke meeting or exceeding the stringent smoke and smoke toxicity
requirements of MIL Spec MIL-M-14G (polyester) as well as MIL-P-15037E
(melamine). It contains no halogen (chlorine or bromine) and will
not liberate hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or hydrogen cyanide
when pyrolyzed.
Polyester Glass materials
are especially recommended for use in the transit industry, where
smoke generation and smoke toxicity are or primary concern. They
are also highly recommended for use in switchgear connectors and
for control panels in enclosed areas
