BRA-GLA N material is a laminate based on high-quality glass fabric combined with a temperature-resistant thermoset resin matrix.
Special material characteristics:
- Long-Term Dimensional and Shape Stability
- High Long-Term Temperature Resistance
- Good Insulation Properties
- Coefficient of Expansion Similar to that of Steel
Areas of application:
Used as pressure insulation plate in the manufacturing of dyes and moulds, and as piston and frame insulation on heated presses. Its very high dielectric resistance makes it also suitable for switch cabinet and apparatus engineering.
