Chemical resistance of thermosetting-resin-glass-reinforced laminates may be affected by any exposed glass in the laminate. 

Deformation of low molecular weight polymer or polymer precursor such as in the casting of acrylic sheet and preparation of glass-reinforced laminates. 

Because of their low viscosity the liquid cyclic aliphatic resins find use in injection moulding and extrusion techniques, as used for glass-reinforced laminates. They are also very useful diluents for the standard glycidyl ether resins. 

Silicone-asbestos laminates are inferior mechanically to the glass-reinforced laminates and have not found wide commercial use. Interesting laminates have.

Speciality polyesters also include gel coats and top coats. These are pigmented polyester resins and are used for coating the surfaces of glass-reinforced laminated mouldings.

Sandwich structure n. A term often employed for a laminate comprising at least three layers for example, a cellular-plastic or honeycomb core sandwiched between two layers of glass-reinforced laminate. 

Linear Continuous Filament Fiberglass. A unique process for producing fiber-glass-reinforced laminates winds continuous yarns in a linear orientation. The resulting laminate possesses three layers of fiberglass filaments, with the outside layers parallel to each other and the middle layer perpendicular to the outside. With an equal number of linear filaments running in each axis, this type of reinforcement results in a laminate with improved dimensional stability.
