Norplex-Micarta RT571

Chemical Family: Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives

RT571 is similar to RT511 using a heavy weave glass fabric substrate meeting all of the requirements of NEMA G-10. Like RT511, RT571 has excellent strength at elevated temperatures but has been formulated to facilitate the production of thick walled tubes (up to 4 times thicker than RT511). RT571 also complies with MIL-I-24768/2, Type GEE. Certification to IEC standard is pending.
