Multipurpose Flame-Retardant Garolite G-10/FR4 Rectangular Tubes
- Color: Green
- Maximum Temperature: 265° F
- Tensile Strength: 32,000-40,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: 5.5-12 ft.-lbs./in. (Excellent)
- Hardness: Rockwell M100 (Extra Hard)

These rectangular tubes are flame retardant, machinable, and electrically insulating. They’re made of epoxy resin, making them good for use with printed circuit boards, insulating washers, and transformer components. With low moisture absorption, these tubes are often used as thermal insulators. Made with fiberglass fabric reinforcement, they’re strong and easier to machine than other glass cloth phenolics. Garolite G-10/FR4 is also called epoxy-grade industrial laminate and phenolic.

Route and insulate wire using these square fiberglass tubes, which fit better along edges and around corners than round tubes. Use them for electrical applications in humid locations. They’re arc and track resistant, and better electrical insulators than FRP fiberglass. Made of fiberglass-reinforced polyester, they’re also known as polyester-grade industrial laminate.

Chemical-Resistant PVC Tubes
When working near chemicals such as acids and alkalies, these tubes offer 360° protection to wires, cords, and anything that can slide through them. They’re made of PVC Type 1, a material that’s easy to thermoform, plus it is an excellent insulator. These tubes are oversized on the outside and undersized on the inside to allow for finishing to the sizes listed.
