Lamitex® LE PF CC 21 banner

Lamitex® LE PF CC 21

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Phenol Formaldehyde (PF)
Reinforcement Material:Cotton
End Uses:Power Transformers, Switch Gear

Lamitex® LE PF CC 21 cotton/phenolic sheets are intended for use in electrical applications requiring good moisture resistance. It has lower mechanical strength than materials with glass substrates, but has superior impact resistance when compared to paper based laminates. LE possesses good dielectric properties and medium dielectric loss and can be machined to relatively close tolerances.

Lamitex® G-3 PF GC 21 banner

Lamitex® G-3 PF GC 21

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Phenol Formaldehyde (PF)
Reinforcement Material:Glass Fibers
End Uses:Power Transformers, Switch Gear

Lamitex® G-3 PF GC 21 glass/phenolic laminated sheet is most frequently preferred for application that require high flexural and impact strengths and good electrical properties under low relative humidity conditions. . Lamitex G-3 meets or exceeds NEMA G-3, Mil-I-24768/18 specifications and meets UL 94-HB requirements.

Lamitex® XX PF CP 23 banner

Lamitex® XX PF CP 23

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Phenol Formaldehyde (PF)
End Uses:Power Transformers, Washer, Terminal Boxes, Spacer, Switch Gear

Lamitex® XX PF CP 23 paper/phenolic laminated sheet and tubes offer high dielectric and very good mechanical strengths. Grade XX laminate and tubing are frequently specified for use in transformers, switchboards, mounting blocks, insulating panels, washers and spacers, and switchgear applications.

Lamitex® X PF CP 21 banner

Lamitex® X PF CP 21

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Phenol Formaldehyde (PF)
End Uses:Side Panels, Wall Panels, Washer, Spacer

Lamitex® X PF CP 21 paper/phenolic laminated sheet is primarily intended for mechanical applications. It has high relative mechanical properties but low electrical characteristics when compared to XX and XXX type materials. Special precautions must be taken to prevent cracking if the material is to be tapped or machined parallel to the laminations. Grade X laminate is frequently specified for use as mounting blocks or panels, washers and spacers.

Lamitex® G-7 SI GC 21 banner

Lamitex® G-7 SI GC 21

Functions:Laminate
Reinforcement Material:Glass Fibers
End Uses:Power Transformers, Switch Gear

Lamitex® G-7 SI GC 21 glass/silicone laminated sheets are primarily used for mechanical, electrical and electronic applications where high mechanical strengths are required at temperatures up to 220°C. G-7 exhibits extremely good dielectric loss properties under dry conditions and good electrical properties under humid conditions.

Lamitex® XXX PF CP 24 banner

Lamitex® XXX PF CP 24

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Phenol Formaldehyde (PF)
End Uses:Power Transformers, Switch Gear

Lamitex® XXX PF CP 24 sheet has excellent machining characteristics, low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability over large changes in temperature and humidity. Chemical resistance is good when exposed to organic solvents and oils. Grade XXX is frequently specified for use in switchgear, oil filled transformers and power distribution products, tooling stock and test panel applications.

Lamitex® FR-4 EP GC 23 banner

Lamitex® FR-4 EP GC 23

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Epoxy Resins & Compounds
Reinforcement Material:Glass Fibers
End Uses:Power Transformers, Switch Gear

Lamitex® FR-4 EP GC 23 epoxy laminated sheet is reinforced with a woven glass fabric. It is primarily used for mechanical, electrical and electronic applications where extremely high mechanical strengths are required at room and moderate temperatures. Lamitex FR-4 meets or exceeds NEMA FR-4 and Mil-I-24768/27 specifications, has excellent resistance to chemicals and retains its' electrical properties in dry and high humidity environments.

Lamitex® G-10CR/G-10 EP GC 21 banner

Lamitex® G-10CR/G-10 EP GC 21

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Epoxy Resins & Compounds
Reinforcement Material:Glass Fibers
End Uses:Power Transformers, Switch Gear

Lamitex® G-10CR/G-10 EP GC 21 laminated sheet is a woven glass fabric composite impregnated with an epoxy resin. It is primarily used for mechanical, electrical and electronic applications where extremely high mechanical strengths are required at room and moderate temperatures. It is frequently specified for its excellent resistance to chemicals and retention of good electrical properties in dry and high humidity environments. G-10 is non-brominated and is not flame retardant and should not be confused with a similar glass epoxy grade FR-4, which is flame retardant.

Lamitex® G-11/G-10 EP GC 22 banner

Lamitex® G-11/G-10 EP GC 22

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Epoxy Resins & Compounds
Reinforcement Material:Glass Fibers

"LAMITEX® laminated materials provide a unique range of design benefits. LAMITEX® composite laminates are engineering materials made from layers of fibrous reinforcement such as cotton cloth, paper or woven glass cloth, which are bonded together with high quality thermoset plastic resins. The layers are pressed together under high pressure and the resin is baked until it becomes solid, fusing the material into a tough, strong and dense material. Combinations of phenolic, epoxy, melamine or silicon resins saturated and cured in paper, cotton fabric, glass fabric or aramid fiber fabrics offers a range of laminate grades with properties designed for everyday use to the most demanding by today’s technologies.LAMITEX® laminates combine mechanical strength and electrical insulation with chemical and weather resistance. They are rigid, with a high strength to weight ratio, and most grades can be machined with standard machine tools to make finished components. Franklin offers a comprehensive range of grades for our customers’ diverse applications."
