"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."

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® 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® 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® C PF CC 22

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Phenol Formaldehyde (PF)
Reinforcement Material:Cotton
End Uses:Side Panels, Wall Panels

Lamitex® C PF CC 22 cotton/phenolic sheet is intended for use in mechanical applications requiring high impact strength. It has lower mechanical strength than materials with glass substrates, but has superior impact resistance when compared to paper based laminates.

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

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® G-5 MF GC 21

Functions:Laminate
Polymer Name:Melamine Formaldehyde (MF)
Reinforcement Material:Glass Fibers

Lamitex® G-5 MF GC 21 glass/melamine laminated sheet is most frequently preferred for applications that require high mechanical strength, exceptional arc resistance and self extinguishing properties.

Lamitex® G-7 SI GC 21

Functions:Laminate
Reinforcement Material:Glass Fibers

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

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.
