Proprietary composite
formulations and technologies prevent voids
and produce high-quality insulator core rods
that withstand stringent electrical testing and
end-use manufacturing stresses such as thermal
overmolding and mechanical crimping.
Performance advantages:
• High dielectric strength: composite material
is custom formulated to optimize electrical
properties resulting in exceptional insulation
• Lightweight: insulators are up to 80% lighter
than porcelain and utility poles are more than
50% lighter than wood equivalents
• High strength: high tensile, compressive,
flexural and inter-laminar shear strength
to support various design configurations
and line loads
• Resilient: deflect and return to original shape
for structural damping to minimize damages
and outages
• Durable: insulators are durable and shatter
resistant vs. ceramic and glass; composite
utility poles are UV corrosion resistant for
a long service life

To control the impact of this decision,
we generated many existing products’ MSDSs using the pre-GHS format just before our mid-April 2014
conversion.
PolyOne currently aims to for all global facilities
impacted by the new GHS labeling conventions to be equipped to produce and implement GHS compliant
labels by June 2015.

Less maintenance — Composites are considered low-maintenance materials because they do not rust or corrode and are resistant to high temperatures.
Composites are resistant to the elements and corrosive saltwater, provide high strength and stiffness, and dampen noise and vibration for a smoother ride.
For example, thermoset composites have high temperature resistance and excellent fatigue resistance.
