G10 epoxy glass laminate has properties similar to B46 epoxy, but without the additional modified resin system that gives B46 its improved machinability. Similar to B46, G10 is used for its good all-round characteristics in mechanical strength and electrical resistance, and is typically used as a cost-effective alternative to more expensive, higher-specification grades.
As with all industrial laminate materials, G10's rigidity makes it easy to machine with traditional methods used for plastics and metals. We can manufacture bespoke components to your requirements using our own in-house CNC facilities, including milling, turning, sawing, drilling and routing. You will find more information, along with examples of our work, on the machining service page.
G10 is manufactured to BS EN 60893 Standard: 3-2-EPGC201.
