Permaglass Laminated Composite MaterialsPermali Gloucester Ltd. manufacture a range of thermoset GRP laminates using either epoxy resins for high strength and good electrical insulation properties, or phenolic resins for excellent fire properties including low smoke and toxic fume emissions. The glass-fibre reinforcement can utilise woven, unidirectional or tissue glass to give the final laminate the desired properties.
Other Permaglass laminates use epoxy resins for their superior electrical properties. The Permaglass 22FE range provide high strength laminates with excellent insulating properties, whilst the Permaglass MER range are modified, fire retardant epoxy grades with high surface tracking resistance and low smoke and toxic fume emissions as required for underground rail systems.
Permali Gloucester Ltd. can manufacture laminates up to 4.8 x 1.9 metres (15 x 6 feet) and in thicknesses from 0.25 up to 100 mm (0.01 to 4 inches) thick. |
Laminates such as the Permaglass range of cargo liners for aircraft, or the Permaglass
MFM1 decorative laminate have exceptional resistance to fire. The use of a modified
phenolic resin provides inherent self-extinguishing properties without the use of
halogenated flame-retardant additives, so giving very low smoke and toxic fume emissions
and low heat release. Ballistic grades of phenolic laminate are available for bullet and
blast resistant armour applications. Other grades are optimised for low thermal
conductivity or high abrasion resistance.
