Fiberglass Conduit

Has anyone ever used fiberglass conduit? I'm working on a site with heavily loaded below grade conduit runs with high load factor, and the fiberglass is supposed to help the cable ampacity derating (it does a better job of radiating heat than hdpe or PVC).

I've used the 90s, and they were great to work with, but most of the heavily loaded stuff I see is aerial, so I was hoping to get some feedback on how common this is, whether or not it actually works, or any other relevant experience with this stuff.
