Electrical Grade Sheet Laminates |
All grades of Polyply industrial sheet are produced using polyester
resin and fiberglass reinforcement. They are U.L. recognized and are
available in 36"x72" and 48"x96" sheet. Sheets are manufactured in
thicknesses ranging from 1/32" to 2" with most sizes in stock for
immediate shipment.
Polyply L-40. Low cost, general purpose flame retardant electrical
laminate which meets or exceeds NEMA GPO-2 requirements.
Polyply L-50. Track resistant, flame retardant laminate which meets
or exceeds NEMA GPO-3 requirements.
Polyply L-50HT. Track resistant, High Temperature laminate.

All properties are based on 1/8" thick sheet.
Unless otherwise indicated, all properties published are based on
tests performed on standard ASTM test samples and according
to ASTM test methods. Values shown are for test samples made
from production materials and they are believed to be typical. No
