Where would you use a glass fabric grade?

TUFNOL high performance glass fabric laminates

This group includes glass fabric reinforced laminated plastics with wide-ranging properties, mostly determined by the types of resin used to bond the laminations.  These materials are generally characterised by very high strength properties, good temperature resistance and good dimensional stability.

The TUFNOL range includes grades with exceptional temperature resistance, first class dielectric properties, good resistance to tracking, assessed flammability and superb structural strength and toughness.

Epoxy glass materials are used in a very wide range of technically demanding applications.  Other glass laminates tend to be used for more specialised purposes, or where higher temperature capabilities are required.
