Composite Materials for Power Transmission
and Distribution Products
APPLICATION & PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
KEY
CHARACTERISTICS
Extend the service life of electrical
transmission and distribution products
with Glasforms composite technologies.
Performance advantages:
• Non-conductive: formulations engineered
to optimize composite dielectric properties
• Lightweight: up to 80% lighter than porcelain,
reducing installation time and cost
• High strength: high tensile, compressive,
flexural and inter-laminar shear strength
to support various design configurations
and line loads
• Flexible: deflect and return to original shape
for load dampening to minimize damages
and outages
• Durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic
and glass, and UV and corrosion resistant
for long service life

BUT CHALLENGING
NEARLY 90% OF ALL PURCHASE DECISIONS ARE MADE SUBCONSCIOUSLY.
If it looks great, but can’t be manufactured or costs
too much, development dies on the vine.

The consequences to the medical
device manufacturer could include increases in:
• Service calls to repair damaged devices
• Warranty claims on damaged devices
• Product returns of damaged devices
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Below are just a few examples of the many
types of medical devices protected by rigid
polymer housings and frequently cleaned
with harsh disinfectants to fight HAI’s.
Public Health Service, the incidence of hospital-acquired infections
(HAI’s), such as MRSA and VRE, has increased approximately 36% in the last 20 years and
today causes nearly 100,000 deaths annually.
