The excellent electrical insulation and high temperature durability characteristics of glass fabrics make them outstanding performers in the electrical industry.Almost all rotating equipment, transformers, switches, wire and cable applications, as well as printed circuits, rely on the high dielectric strength, dimensional stability and temperature resistance of glass fabrics. In most cases, glass fabrics are used in conjunction with other materials.

Closely woven lightweight fabrics are treated with varnish, silicone rubber, Teflon* coating and Neoprene* coating for use in bus bar winding, wire and cable wrap, etc. These same fabrics, as well as open weave cloths, are used as substrates and reinforcements for mica. Most of these combinations are slit into tapes.

In the high-pressure laminate and printed circuit industry, glass fabrics are used to meet critical electrical, temperature, corrosion resistance and dimensional stability requirements. The glass fabric is impregnated with epoxy, polyester, melamine, phenolic, polyimide and Teflon resins and is then laminated under high pressure to form rigid boards for use as the foundation for printed circuits.
