A continuous woven glass fabric laminated with an epoxy resin. This grade is extremely high in mechanical strength, has low water absorption and dissipation factors and has superior electrical characteristics, which are exhibited over a wide range of temperatures and humidities
Grade G-10 is used for knife handles, terminal boards, washers, sleeves, structural components, and parts where the strength to size ratio is critical.
G-10 is a favorite material for making high quality knife and gun handles. It is the toughest of the glass-fiber resin laminates. It is light and does not expand or contract due to normal fluctuations in temperature. It has exceptional strength,chemical and oil resistance, and low moisture absorbency
G-10 has an incredible combination of characteristics. It's so tough and versatile that it's also used in structural supports, washers, gears and other critical,high-precision machined parts. It is used in demanding boating applications,high-temperature engine bulkheads, engine mounting brackets and even aerospace applications. It is temperature resistant to 130ºC. It's non-corrosive,and does not become softer or more brittle over time. It won't chip easily and needs little or no care.
And, since it has been discovered for more creative and aesthetic applications,it's produced in many colors, layers, and patterns and can be textured, bead blasted, polished, and sanded.
