Gordon Composites barstock are highly customizable through engineering, machining, and construction to meet specific customer requirements. PROFILE OUTER DIAMETER INNER DIAMETER WALL THICKNESS Continuous Filament Wound 0.298–1.170 (7.57–29.72) 0.250–1.070 (6.35–27.18) 0.024–0.097 (0.61–2.46) The Glasforms™ continuous filament winding process combines the principles of filament winding with pultrusion to create lightweight, stiff tubes and poles with a constant cross-section and maximum durability.

|A team of engineers at this firm was looking for a way to reduce the manufacturing cost of its line of solar-powered lights made using painted metal. At first, they experimented with pre-colored ABS, but the ABS parts failed the company’s requirements for color retention after exposure to UV light. Additionally, the part had to have excellent surface finish and appearance because it is a highly visible consumer part.

Through compliance with these standards, the risk of fire can be minimized in case of failure in the conductive part. Each one specifies its own fire hazard tests and fail/pass criteria, which depend on the fire resistance required for the plastic part. Compliance to IEC 60695 part 2-11 for the end product and parts 2-12 and 2-13 for materials is required in Europe—and increasingly in other regions—for certain electrical and electronic applications.
