El Monte, California - 1 October 2003 - M.C. Gill Corporation announces development of a Transparent Laminate for use as a see-through cargo liner allowing visual inspections without removal. Such inspections are routinely carried out by airlines to check for mechanical problems, assess damage and locate contraband. Unlike previous transparent plastics, GilliteT 1401 Transparent Laminate offers improved strength using fiberglass reinforcement and exceptional flammability properties, including compliance with FAA burn through requirements.

"Beyond cargo liner applications, Gillite™ 1401 Transparent Laminate will find use in a range of products. It could be used to construct a cargo container, making the contents readily evident," said Irv Freund, VP Sales and Marketing. "Other uses might include ceiling panels in commercial transport vehicles which rely on natural lighting, equipment housings and architectural applications. It should be considered for applications anywhere transparency, strength, light weight and low flammability are important. Increased safety and Home Land Security concerns are expected to create significant opportunities for this innovation."

The laminate is very clear, making it possible to read through it with a four inch space between the laminate and letters; four inches being the distance between the cargo liner and fuselage in most aircraft.
