Description

GPO-1 is a is a high temperature polyester laminate that exhibits excellent retention of electrical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.  UL, Inc. has granted GPO-1 the highest thermal recognition ever achieved by any glass polyester laminate (U.L. File No. E81893).

Applications

The GPO-1 is designed for use in high voltage transformers, D.C. motors and elsewhere when materials with high thermal indices are required.
