RT571 Epoxy Tubes – High‑Temperature, Thick‑Wall Performance
RT571 is similar to RT511 using a heavy weave glass fabric substrate meeting all of the requirements of NEMA G-10. Like RT511, RT571 has excellent strength at elevated temperatures but has been formulated to facilitate the production of thick walled tubes (up to 4 times thicker than RT511). RT571 also complies with MIL-I-24768/2, Type GEE.
