GPO-3 Thermoset

Thermoset sheet material that consists of polyester resin with glass reinforcement

GPO-3 is a glass reinforced thermoset polyester sheet material. GPO-3 is strong, stiff, dimensionally stable, and impact resistant. The material also has excellent electrical properties including flame, arc, and track resistance. It is widely used for electrical insulating applications. GPO-3 is also used for mechanical applications where strength, stiffness, dimensional stability, and relatively low cost are required.

Tech Tip– Like many glass reinforced thermoset sheet materials, GPO-3 is somewhat abrasive on tooling during machining operations.
