GlasGuard 1130 Corrosion-Resistant Panels
GlasGuard Grade 1130 is a fiberglass-reinforced thermoset polyester composite system which is available as sheet stock or in a variety of pultruded shapes. The 1130 system exhibits a unique combination of properties which make it attractive for a variety of applications. Grade 1130 possesses:
Flame Resistance,
Corrosion Resistance,
Weatherability, &
Dielectric Properties
This system is formulated from a special methyl methacrylate modified neopentyl glycol-isophthalic acid unsaturated polyester resin. This type of resin has long been known for outstanding resistance to color fading caused by sunlight and for resistance to surface erosion caused by weathering. This family of resins is also recognized for its performance in corrosive environments, including acids, bases and aliphatic hydrocarbons. The mineral filler used in the 1130 system has been selected to provide a flame resistance rating of V-O when tested according to the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Section 94. It also meets the National Electrical Manufacturers Association criteria for grade GPO-3.
Grade 1130 was developed to meet the challenging requirements of the New York City Transit Authority. It has been pultruded into channel-shaped covers for the electrified third rail; and molded in flat panels for both a sign material and for switchgear components. Grade 1130 is approved against NYCTA Specifications 62, 64 and 65.
Low Smoke and Low Smoke Toxicity
Glastic Grade 1130 materials are especially recommended for use in the transit industry, where smoke generation and smoke toxicity are of primary concern. First designed for use in switchgear, connectors and control panels in enclosed areas, these materials are also now widely used in structural applications. Grade 1130 materials meet or exceed the stringent requirements for (polyester), as well as MIL-P-15037E (melamine).
