Stronger Power Grid. The uniform diameter requires only one size through-bolt length to simplify assembly and reduce outage time.  Composite materials for power distribution and transmission products.

who is retiring in July, after an accomplished 33-year career in the specialty chemicals industry. Innovation is the lifeblood of a specialty organization, and David has demonstrated consistent, collaborative leadership that helped to enable our specialty transformation," said who has had a tremendous career in specialty chemicals and contributed immensely to

This rectangular piece, mounted under the driver and front passenger seats, functions as the attachment point for power seating positioning, heating and electronics. HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard black color. Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

These resins also maintain dimensional stability while providing chemical resistance against the effects of harsh cleaning agents.   Additional iterations are in development for other high-performance resins, including polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU).   Low minimum order quantities offer specialty healthcare customers greater processing flexibility and inventory efficiencies.  

GLASFORMS™ ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Composite Materials for Power Transmission and Distribution Products APPLICATION & PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Insulators Overhead Switch Rods Cross Arms GridCore™ Composite Pole Guy Insulators KEY CHARACTERISTICS Extend the service life of electrical transmission and distribution products with Glasforms™ composite technologies. 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 Arrestors Electrical Transmission & Distribution Applications COMPONENT DESCRIPTION SIZES Insulators for transmission and distribution Suspension insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 0.625" to 1.25" diameter Line post and station post insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 4.74" diameter Arresters Cage type Polyester or vinyl ester/glass fiber rods 0.125" to 0.50" diameter Custom tubular Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy/ glass fiber custom shapes 2.0" to 6.0" envelope size Pole line construction Conductor standoff and equipment support arms Polyester/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 2.00" diameter Guy strain insulators Polyester/glass fiber rods 0.50" to 0.812" diameter Cross arms Tangent and deadend, support braces Polyester/glass fiber rectangular tubes 3.62" x 4.62" and 4.0" x 6.0" rectangular Utility poles GridCore™ Composite Utility Poles Polyester/glass fiber hollow custom tubes 12" to 14" diameter, typical lengths from 35' to 75' Pole line construction, cross arms, rods, and utility poles feature an integral fabric surfacing veil for long-term weather resistance and retention of properties.

Tailored to customer design and performance specifications, panels are engineered with custom formulated resins, structural core materials, and fibers to achieve specific stiffness, strength, weight, performance and cost targets. The unique manufacturing process yields uniform quality throughout the panel, ensuring complete resin impregnation, high fiber volume content, low void content, uniform thickness, and core bonding throughout. These include: BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION Prefabricated structural units, and structure siding and flooring, shelter panels DEFENSE Ballistic resistant panels for military, architectural, power grid and sensitive asset protection.
