    This document provides a comparison of standard glass epoxy material grades from The Gund Company, including filament wound and convolute wound tubing. Filament wound tubes are made from glass filaments wound in epoxy resin, while convolute wound tubes use woven fiberglass sheets in epoxy resin. Both product types offer excellent mechanical, electrical, and physical properties from 130°C to 180°C. The document provides details on manufacturing processes, material compositions, and test results for key characteristics like density, flammability, strength, and dielectric properties.
