The g10 material is similar to both micarta and carbon fiber laminates as they are all resin based laminates.
G10 fiberglass sheet properties.
It is produced in flat sheets.

G 10 is used for terminal boards high humidity applications electrical and electronic test equipment and electric rotor insulation.
G 10 is difficult to cut or machine and may require special equipment.
This makes it the strongest of the glass fiber resins.
G 10 fr 4 is a thermosetting industrial fibre glass composite laminate consisting of a continuous filament glass cloth material with an epoxy resin binder.
G10 fr4 has extremely high mechanical strength good dielectric loss properties and good electric strength properties both wet and dry.
These sheets are of various sizes and thicknesses.
Small and large laminate tubing laminate rods molded rods as well as laminated molded angle.
Beyond its electrical insulating properties epoxy resins exhibit great dimensional stability shrinkage is usually less than 1 percent and superior adhesive properties.
Technical data sheet g 10 is a fiberglass epoxy laminate usually specified when extremely high strength and consistent dimensional stability over tem perature is required.
However the g10 uses glass cloth as its base material.
This product first introduced in the 1950 s has characteristics of high strength low moisture absorption excellent electrical properties and chemical resistance.
