Multipurpose Flame-Retardant
Garolite G-10/FR4 Sheets and Bars
A good all-around choice, these Garolite G-10/FR4 sheets and bars are strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. They're made of a flame-retardant epoxy resin with fiberglass fabric reinforcement. Garolite G-10/FR4 is also called epoxy-grade industrial laminate and phenolic.
Wear-resistant sheets are coated to stand up to rubbing and scraping better than uncoated sheets.
