TUFNOL® Industrial Laminates

Tufnol® Industrial Laminates - Sheet 

TUFNOL® industrial laminates are constructed from layers of fibrous reinforcement, such as cotton, paper or glass fabric bonded together with high quality thermosetting resins. TUFNOL® industrial laminates are available in various grades and has been developed for a wide range of applications including electrical transformers, gears, bearings, jigs and fixtures. We can also offer machined TUFNOL® components using a wide range of CNC facilities. Quotations can be provided from either existing samples or drawings.

Applications

Commonly applied to gears, bearings, jigs and fixtures.

Key Features

  • Temperature: 0°C up to +250°C.
  • Rigid with high strength & low weight.
  • Excellent electrical & thermal properties.
  • Non-corrosive.
  • Higher thermal expansion than many metals.
  • Easily machined.
  • Stronger under flexural, tensile & compressive forces than most engineering thermoplastics.
  • Resistant to heavy loads with minimal creep.
  • Weather resistant.
  • Good resistance to chemicals, oils, solvents & hydrocarbons.
  • Concentrated acids and alkalis will attack laminates.

Availability

We offer TUFNOL® industrial laminates in sheet, rod, tube, or machined to suit your requirements. However, please note that rods and tubes are machined from sheets; please enquire with us first.
