Frequently called electrical-grade Garolite, this Garolite G-9 is strong, electrically insulating, and arc resistant in dry environments.

Ultra-High-Temperature
Impact-Resistant Garolite Tubes

Used in turbine bearings, downpipe gaskets, and other machinery, these Garolite tubes withstand heavy impacts and temperatures as high as 500° F.

Ultra-Low-Temperature Garolite G-10 CR Tubes

Rated for temperatures down to -450° F, this Garolite G-10 CR performs better in cryogenic applications than other glass epoxies.

Electrical-Insulating Garolite XXX

More electrically insulating than Garolite XX, these tubes are often machined into insulating washers, bushings, transformer spacers, and parts of terminal boards.

Fiberglass
