Tufnol Grade 10G/50
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
Tufnol Grade 10G/50 is a laminated plastics material made from woven glass fabric, bonded with silicone resin. It is a rigid sheet material with good resistance to high temperatures and very good electrical insulation properties, especially in applications involving very high frequencies. Note, however, that silicone bonded laminates have mechanical strength properties somewhat lower than some other glass fabric laminates.

- What Is Grade 10G/50 Used For?
This grade is used for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical applications where its particular combination of properties makes it an ideal choice. It is equally at home as insulation in Class H electrical equipment or used on a conveyor carrying components through a hot oven process.. The low loss characteristics are particularly important for engineers and designers working with many types of high-frequency electrical devices, such as high-powered radar and military communications equipment.
