Product Description
GlasTherm Grade HT is a high compressive strength, heat-resistant composite material. Finished to a close thickness tolerance, it is ideal for insulation between the fold and the press or within the mold itself.
It is completely asbestos-free and rugged to withstand rough handling during installation. It is easily cut and machined with standard metal working equipment. Diamond cutting tools are recommended for long life.
