G10/FR4

MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OFFERED

  • WATERJET CUTTING

  • COUNTERSINKING

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Flame retardant

  • Strong and stiff

  • Dimensionally stable

  • Outstanding electrical properties

  • Creep resistance

 

DISADVANTAGES

  • Cost - G10 can be expensive compared to metals like aluminum or steel, making it less suitable for small projects. 

  • Rigidity - G10 can be difficult to work with due to its rigidity and high fiber content. 

  • UV resistance - G10 can break down over time with prolonged exposure to UV rays, which can affect its appearance and mechanical properties. A UV resistant coating can help mitigate this. 

  • Dust - When cut or sanded, G10 can create dust that can irritate the skin and eyes. Wearing protective gear is recommended. 

  • FR4 dimensional stability - FR4's dimensional stability can degrade at high temperatures, voltages, and powers.
