GLASS FIBRE LAMINATED INSULATION SHEETS

• The Product: Non arching electrical insulating sheets PROMETEUS. Non arching electrical insulating, PROMETEUS, is a high grade arc and heat resisting material produced from specially selected and prepared asbestos fiber and cement formed into boards under high pressure
• Size of the Sheets: 2,4 m x 2 m. A fully equipped machine shop is available for the supply of cut and drilled sheets and fully machined parts to individual requirements
• Available Thickness: Ranges from 1 mm to 75 mm and can go up to 200 mm for special purposes
• Description: ALPHYSICA-LAMINATES boards are manufactured from specially selected asbestos fiber and cement formed into fully compressed boards under high pressure. Mechanically strong, these boards possess good arc and heat resisting characteristics. In view of the relatively high water absorption, where these boards are used, they are liable to absorb water, reduction in electrical insulation (which may be severe, should be recognized)
• Appearance: Light grey in colour with smooth sanded surface
• Temperature Classification: ALPHYSICA-LAMINATES boards can withstand a continuous temperature up to 350 C. (for PROMETEUS-300).
• Machineability: ALPHYSICA-LAMINATES boards can be easily machined by normal engineering methods provided certain, simple precautions are observed. A comprehensive technical service is available to customers seeking advice on the choice of material and its subsequent machining for customers wishing to purchase machined components to drawings or specifications; the highest standards of accuracy and quality are assured.
