Phenolic Grade C / Phenolic Grade CE Laminate cotton fabric reinforcement in a phenolic resin binder. The natural color is amber/brown. This material is characterized by good mechanical properties and toughness. It machines well and has good wear resistant qualities. It certifies to NEMA C/CE and MIL-I-24768/14/16.

Phenolic Grade L / Phenolic Grade LE Laminate fine weave cotton fabric reinforcement in a phenolic resin binder. The natural color is tan/brown. This grade has good mechanical properties, and its fine weave allows more detailed and intricate machining to be possible. It has better moisture resistance than C and CE grades. It certifies to NEMA L/LE and MIL-I-24768/13/15. Note: black color and other thicknesses are available.

Phenolic Paper Grade XX Laminate Sheet is a Kraft paper reinforcement in a phenolic resin binder. The natural color is tan/brown. This versatile grade offers good mechanical and electrical insulating properties along with lower costs and good machining quality. It certifies to NEMA XX and MIL-I-24768/11.

Phenolic Grade XXX Laminate high alpha content paper reinforcement in a phenolic resin binder. The natural color is tan/brown. This grade has excellent machining characteristics and has lower moisture absorption than X and XX grades. Parts made with this material maintain good dimensional qualities. It certifies to NEMA XXX and MIL-I-24768/10.

Epoxyglas G10,FR4 Laminate glass fabric reinforcement in an epoxy resin binder. The natural color is light green. It is the most versatile laminate with extremely high mechanical strength, good dielectric loss properties, and good electric strength properties under both dry and humid conditions. It certifies to NEMA FR4 and MIL-I-24768/27.

Epoxyglas G10 non FR Laminate glass fabric reinforcement in a non halogen epoxy resin binder. The natural color is a light yellowish green. The mechanical and dielectric properties and versatility are similar to G10/FR4 in both dry and humid conditions. Although not flame retardant, it offers specific advantages where halogen content is undesirable. It certifies to NEMA G10 and MIL-I-24768/2.

Epoxyglas HT G11 / FR5 Laminate glass fabric reinforcement in a high temperature epoxy resin binder. The natural color is typically yellow-green-tan blend. This grade is similar to G10/FR4 but has a higher operating temperature and superior mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. It maintains good properties at both dry and humid conditions. It certifies to NEMA FR5 and MIL-I-24768/28.

Epoxyglas HT G11 non FR Laminate glass fabric reinforcement in a high temperature, non-halogen epoxy resin binder. The natural color is a light tannish green. This grade has similar properties to G11/FR5 in both dry and humid conditions and maintains good dimensional stability and creep resistance in high and low temperature cycling environments. It certifies to NEMA G11 and MIL-I-24768/3.

Siliglas G7 Laminate glass fabric reinforcement in a high temperature resistant silicone resin binder. The natural color is off-white. This grade has excellent heat and arc resistance along with good dielectric loss properties. The mechanical properties are slightly lower than the G10 and G11 grades. It certifies to NEMA G7 and MIL-I-24768/17.

Melaglas G5/G9 Laminated glass fabric reinforcement in a melamine resin binder. The natural color is grey/tan. This grade is among the hardest of the glass based laminates and has excellent arc resistance and good resistant to caustic chemicals. These grades are certified to NEMA G5/G9 and MIL-I-24768/1/8.

Phenolic G3 Laminate Sheet is a glass fabric reinforcement in a phenolic resin binder. The natural color is amber/brown. This grade has good heat resistance, high mechanical strength and low thermal expansion. It certifies to NEMA G3 and MIL-I-24768/18.
