B42 Epoxy Cotton Laminate

B42 Phenolic Cotton Laminate
B42 epoxy cotton laminate is a fine-weave, electrically insulating material with excellent tracking resistance, high mechanical strength, and strong chemical resistance. Its tracking resistance reduces leakage current at the insulation surface, while the fine weave makes it well-suited for complex parts.
We manufacture B42 into a wide range of custom items, including fine-tooth and medium-tooth gears, seal rings, and high-voltage insulation components. Our facilities feature CNC milling, routing, turning, and drilling. For more details and examples, please visit our machining service page.
B42 is manufactured to BS EN 60893 Standard: 3-2-EPCC301.
