Epoxy

Glass fibre and epoxy resin sheet

Epoxy Sheet is made of of glass fibres and epoxy resins. In terms of performance, this thermosetting plastic is a step further than the phenol/paper and phenol/cotton fabric materials. Compared to Phenol, Epoxy has superior mechanical properties such as compressive strength, impact strength and resistance, and tensile strength.

Epoxy has an excellent operating temperature range, chemical resistance and absorbs hardly any moisture. Electrical engineering is one of the most important areas of application for Epoxy sheet, thanks to its remarkable electrical and dielectric properties.
