Fabric reinforced laminate – grade specifics
The weave and quality of the cotton fabric used has a significant effect on the properties of the finished laminate as well as the ‘machinability’. In general, the finer the weave, the better the machined finish. B10, which employs a very high quality super-fine weave of 40 x 40 threads per centimetre, can be machined to a fine finish. Coarser weaves such as the B12 do not machine as finely but exhibit better impact resistance and good overall mechanical properties.
Improved chemical, impact and abrasion resistance
The B42 laminate offers good chemical resistance and machinability thanks to the phenolic resin being substituted with an epoxy resin on a superfine cotton reinforcement.
The PE164 laminate switches cotton for polyester and is fabric bonded with an epoxy resin. It is ideal for uses demanding good mechanical properties, particularly impact strength and abrasion resistance.
