Glastic 1130 is a fiberglass-reinforcement thermoset polyester composite system which is available as sheet stock or in a variety of pultruded shapes.
Glastic 1130 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 resin is also recognized for its performance in corrosive enviornments, including acids, bases and aliphatic hydrocarbons. It also meets the National Electrical manufacturers Association criteria for grade GPO-3.
Glastic 1130 was developed to meet the challenging requirements of the NYCTA (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. Approved against NYCTA specifications 62, 64, and 65.
