Ranges of application
Typical applications of GL® P are in thermal high stressed presses and punch units, in the glass making industry, in welding plants and in extrusion dies.
Special material characteristics
- very high continuous usage temperature
- very high compressive strength
- excellent insulation effect
Advantages
The grade GL® P offers a higher usage temperature than other glass fibre reinforced thermosetting materials. Compared to fibre cement materials GL® P can be used for applications with higher mechanical loads.
