Glass-fibre composites transmited the handling of electricity when they first replaced natural insulators such as wood an metal with high dielectric strength, in 1959.

Di-electric properties, insulation, even or heat or electric conduction depending of the fibers and resins selected, composites can be finely tune to meet nearly all the requirements in Electrical and Electronics applications

The electrical industry relies on the properties of electrical composite materials for top performance. Unlike parts molded from plastic which can carbonize or melt during exposure to electrical arcing or tracking, thermoset composite materials experience minimal impact from these common electrical equipment condition continuously high levels of relative humidity, temperature extremes, thermal shock, UV exposure, and exposure to high-energy radiation

Key advantages;

• Good dielectric performance, must insulate layers by blocking electrical conductivity, Increase the air insulaton measures, reduces the electromagnetic field effect
• High thermal conductivity, low electrical conductivity, Heat resistance, durabilty to withstand repeated use without decrease at performance, moisture resistance for safety and durability, sound baffling for quiter operation
• Fire resistance is important in the electrical and electronics applications of polymers
