TUFNOL® industrial laminates are constructed from layers of fibrous reinforcement, such as cotton, paper, or glass fabric, bonded with high-quality thermosetting resins. These laminates are available in various grades and have been developed for a wide range of applications, including electrical transformers, gears, bearings, jigs, and fixtures. Machined TUFNOL® components can be produced using advanced CNC facilities, with quotations available based on existing samples or technical drawings.
Applications
TUFNOL® laminates are commonly used in 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
TUFNOL® industrial laminates are available in sheet, rod, and tube forms, or can be machined to meet specific requirements. Various grades are offered, with additional alternatives available upon request.
Please note: Technical data for alternative sheet grade is different for tube, if you require technical data for tube please enquire.
