APPROVED FOR HARSH OUTDOOR CONDITIONS
As a global standard solution, Formex™ GK-10 meets all critical flammability and environmental requirements in Europe, North America and Asia. This includes WEEE, RoHS and REACH. It was recently tested by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for UV stability, water exposure and immersion. Following rigid UL 746C test protocol, UL granted Formex™ GK-10 black electrical insulation material its f1 rating as a certified product for use in outdoor environments. This electrical insulation material is ideal for protecting the delicate components within LED lighting, IP security cameras, access control systems and digital signs-just to name a few.
