B48 Epoxy Glass Laminate

B48 epoxy glass laminate offers electrical and chemical resistance comparable to B36 epoxy, enhanced by superior stability at higher temperatures. It maintains strong mechanical performance, improved flexural strength after heat exposure, and reduced distortion up to +155°C.

B48 is a lightweight, versatile material that can be precision machined into complex, custom components. Its rigidity allows processing with engineering plastic sheet techniques, including CNC milling, turning, drilling, and sawing, all performed in-house.
