Well-balanced GFRP with electrical insulation, heat resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance.
In addition to excellent electrical insulation properties, it possesses heat resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance, despite being made of plastic. Utilizing these characteristics, it is often machined into parts that require mechanical strength and installed in places where metals would be unsuitable, such as areas needing electrical insulation, thermal insulation, rust prevention, corrosion (electrolysis) prevention, and magnetization prevention. Given its reasonable price, it offers a well-balanced combination of excellent properties, allowing for potential improvements in functionality and cost reduction by replacing other materials previously used, depending on the application. Furthermore, with a specific gravity of about 1.8, for example, in situations where stainless steel (specific gravity ≈ 8.0) parts are used for rust and corrosion prevention, replacing them with this material can achieve nearly 80% weight reduction.

basic information
Glass fabric substrate epoxy resin laminated sheets are made by stacking a predetermined number of substrates (called prepreg) that have been impregnated with epoxy resin into glass fabric, and then pressing them at high pressure while applying high temperatures. This results in glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP: Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic). 【Features】 〇 It has excellent mechanical strength, with a bending strength of 450 megapascals and a tensile strength of 350 megapascals for a 1mm thick specimen (JIS K 6911). 〇 The heat resistance temperature is 130°C. Even after heat treatment at 180°C for 2 hours, there are no significant changes in strength or dimensions. 〇 It has excellent electrical insulation properties, with an insulation resistance of 28,000 volts per 1mm of material (JIS K 6911). 〇 It is a plastic with extremely low discoloration and dimensional changes due to aging. 〇 It has excellent chemical resistance to oils, solvents, acids, and alkalis. 【Sizes】 〇 The thickness varies depending on the type. 〇 Surface polishing can be done to meet thickness precision requirements. 〇 The standard size is 1000×1000mm, but longer sizes such as 1200mm, 1500mm, and 2000mm can be accommodated depending on the type. 〇 It is also possible to cut and deliver to your desired size.

Detailed information
-
Bending strength test based on JIS K 6911.
-
Bending strength The bending strength of a 1mm thick specimen is 450 megapascals. Many GFRP products are molded products based on thermoplastic resins. In contrast, glass fabric-based epoxy resin laminates are made by applying high heat to a substrate based on thermosetting resins while pressing at high pressure, resulting in excellent mechanical strength.
-
Examples of insulation used around coils (image) are often adopted in a way that they are machined into parts requiring mechanical strength and installed in places where metal would be inconvenient.
-
Examples of processing into insulating spacers Many GFRP products are molded using molds, but products made from glass fabric-based epoxy resin are obtained by "machining" from the material to achieve the desired shape.
-
We also offer laminated pipes made of epoxy resin with a glass fabric substrate in a pipe shape.

Industrial winding core This is a hollow structure winding core that is coupled via a flange to a tube that matches the chuck of the winding machine and a tube that is optimal in size for winding. To address wrinkles, it is necessary to increase the size of the winding core, but the increase in weight becomes a problem. With a glass epoxy winding core, these issues can be resolved simultaneously.
