  • Benefits
  • Limitations
  • Documents
  • Excellent adhesion to other materials.
  • Well-balanced combination of electrical, mechanical and thermal properties.
  • Abrasion resistant.
  • Better resistance to solvents and bases than polyester.
  • Can be processed both with and without both heat and pressure (can be cast).
  • Normally rigid and hard material but also available as an elastomer (rubber).
  • Dimensionally stable.
  • Dimensionally stable.
  • Very low thermal expansion.
  • Poor resistance to alcohol and certain solvents.
  • Curing should take place at elevated temperature to obtain the best possible chemical and mechanical properties.
