Tufnol Glass Laminates consist of glass fabric reinforced grades with wide
ranging properties, determined by the resins used to
bond the laminations. All of these materials are characterised
by very high strength properties, good temperature resistance
and good dimensional stability. Tufnol Glass belongs to the range of high performance laminates branded under Tufnol.
The
range includes grades with exceptional temperature resistance,
first class dielectric properties, good resistance to
tracking, assessed flammability and superb structural
strength and toughness.
Epoxy
glass materials are used in a very wide range of technically
demanding applications, whilst other glass laminates
tend to be used for more specialised purposes, or where
higher temperature capabilities are required.

Epoxy
Glass Fabric Products
A
range of high quality epoxy resin bonded glass fabric
laminates
Tufnol
Grade 10G/40
The most widely used grade, suitable for continuous
use at temperatures up to approximately 130ºC.
(Class B).
Tufnol Grade 10G/41
Similar
to 10G/40, but with controlled flammability.
Tufnol
Grade 10G/42
Made
with an epoxy resin which offers increased mechanical
strength at higher temperatures. Suitable for uses up
to 155 ºC (Class F).
Tufnol Grade 10G/44
Similar to Grade 10G/42, but with improved retention
of strength after heat ageing
-
Very high mechanical strength with low moisture absorption
- Exhibit
excellent electrical properties under both dry and
humid conditions.
- Rigid
materials with good dimensional stability
- Good
resistance to a wide range of working environments.
These
high performance materials are used for a very wide
variety of applications where high strength, rigidity,
dimensional stability and electrical performance are
required.
Applications such as insulation in large turbine generators,
components for cryogenic super conducting magnets, high
strength bolt insulation in structures, jigs for electrochemical
machining and structural insulation for high performance
electronic equipment, these are typical of the many
uses to which these materials are put.
Due
to their high glass fibre content they are not machined
as readily as cotton or paper grades and are not normally
suitable for applications involving wear.

Phenolic
Glass Fabric Products
Tufnol Grade 10G/24
A general purpose grade with excellent low smoke and
toxicity performance in fire tests. Good insulator for
use in Class F temperatures. High mechanical strength.
- Good
electrical insulation
- High
mechanical strength
- Exceptionally
good fire properties
-
Excellent weather resistance
-
Can be used in long-term applications in outdoor or
marine environments
The
specially formulated resin of Tufnol Grade 10G/24 gives
exceptional performance in fire tests, over and above
the properties found in standard phenolic materials.
This results in controlled flammability, good resistance
to ignition and excellent low smoke and toxicity values.
Silicone
Glass Fabric Products
Tufnol
Grade 10G/50
A laminated plastics material made from woven glass
fabric, bonded with silicone resin. High temperature
resistance up to 200°C or above. Excellent dielectre
properties and low loss tangent.
Silicone
resin for heat resistance and low loss dielectric properties
in high frequency applications
- Good
resistance to high temperatures
-
Very good electrical insulation properties especially
in applications involving very high frequencies
- Suitable
for use at temperatures up to 200°C
- Withstand
short term exposure to 240°C.
- Very
good retention of properties (thermal endurance) at
temperatures up to 200°C
- Good
flammability performance
The
silicone resin used to bond the laminate gives TUFNOL
Grade 10G/50 first class dielectric properties, including
high insulation resistance and low loss tangent and
permittivity. This ensures good performance in electrical
applications at high frequencies.
10G50
grade is used for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical
applications where its particular combination of properties
makes it an ideal choice. It is equally at home as insulation
in Class H electrical equipment, or used on a conveyor
carrying components through a hot oven process.
