Glass-Melamine Laminate Characteristics
Melamines are the hardest of the laminates, with good dimensional stability and arc resistance.
G5 and G9 are machining-grade glass fabrics that retain excellent electrical properties in high humidity conditions. Both thermosets are flame-resistant and have high physical strength, good caustic-resistance and excellent arc resistance.
G9 is a better choice for outdoor applications as it offers more resistance to the elements than G5.
High physical strength- Excellent arc and flame resistance
- Machining grade woven glass fabric
- Excellent electrical properties in high humidity conditions
Applications for Glass-Melamine Laminates
- Arc barriers
- Switch board parts
- Electrical parts
- Circuit breakers
