Stratified glass epoxy, based on fibreglass fabric and epoxy resin, ideal for high temperatures
This material offers very good mechanical properties, electric insulation also in wet places, chemical resistance, tensile and compressive strength, and dimensional stability.
Sheets are available in 0.2 to 100 mm thickness and in the following sizes: 1220x1220 mm, 1220x2200 mm, 1050x2050 mm.
They are mainly used in the electro-mechanical and electronic sectors.
Low thickness versions of the product are used to manufacture base plates, washers, and contact holders; thicker versions are, on the other hand, used to manufacture a multitude of drawing-based shapes requiring dielectric insulation and mechanical strength.
It is a very good solution in the moulding industry as insulator for press tables.
It is also an efficient choice for the production of screws, nuts and bolts.
FR5 laminates are self-extinguishing, pursuant to UL94-V0, and halogen-free.
