G11 Epoxy Fibreglass Wound Tube
It is a wound epoxy-fibreglass tube. Our tubes can be manufactured as convolutely wound or filament-wound tubes. Here you can discover more about G-11’s benefits, applications, and features.
Welcome to Learning about G11 Epoxy Fibreglass Wound Tube
The G11 epoxy fibreglass wound tube is a high-temperature-resistant insulating tube composed of alkali-free fibreglass impregnated with epoxy resin. It has excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures. Its insulating and thermal resistance properties are superior to those of G10.
There are two types of G11 glass epoxy. Applications in Class H are made to function at temperatures as high as 180°C. Class F applications are meant for temperatures as high as 150°C.
Advantages
The G11 epoxy fibreglass wound tube offers several benefits, including:
- Excellent mechanical process-ability and high degree of automation processing
- Excellent heat resistance, continuing high-temperature resistance at 150°C
- Excellent chemical resistance andradiation resistance
- Excellent fire retardance, as it is UL 94 V-0 grade
- Excellent voltage resistance
- Excellent water Resistance
Application
Various industries, including bolt protection, chemicals, the military, medicine, and electronics, utilise G11 epoxy fibreglass tubes. It can give solid and dependable material solutions for these applications.
