Norplex-Micarta RT500X
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
The RT500X has excellent electrical properties under humid conditions and very good heat resistance and mechanical properties. RT500X is used when NEMA recognition is needed and fine machining is required. This version is made with an extra-fine weave fabric. RT500X also complies with MIL-I-24768/2, Type GEE and ASTM D709 Type IV Grade G-10. Certification to IEC standard is pending.
