Glass silicone is a glass fabric coated with silicone resin. It has excellent arc resistance, high heat resistance, and a low dissipation factor. The material is flame resistant and meets MIL-I-24768/17 and NEMA G-7 standards. Glass silicone materials are ideal for use in applications that require good electrical and mechanical properties. It works in both dry and humid conditions.
G7 glass silicone excels when used in electronic, electrical and mechanical applications, particularly those that require materials to have high mechanical strengths and withstand extreme temperatures. It can manage exposure to temperatures up to 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit).
The specific properties of G7 glass silicone are*:
As the main supplier of thermoset composites in North America, Atlas Fibre has access to more than $8 million worth of raw materials at our Illinois warehouse. We have an additional $4 million in inventory at our partner facilities, which are located in Massachusetts and Hyderabad.
