Applications | Mechanical Data

Overview

GPO-3 is a reinforced thermoset polyester resin blended with fiber glass. GPO-3 is the industry standard for plastic used in electrical applications due to its highly flame retardant qualities, arc, and track resistance. GPO-3 is UL® recognized material offering ease of fabrication, low conductivity, dimesional stability, good UV resistance, and good property retention at elevated temperatures. It is typically used in high-voltage appliance insulators, tool handles, power distribution parts, conduit snakes, hand rails, and operating rods.
