FR4 / 3240 / G10 / G11 – Grade Reference
FR4: Flame-retardant epoxy glass laminate widely used in electrical and electronic insulation applications.
3240: Common Chinese standard epoxy glass laminated sheet, similar in structure and performance to FR4.
G10: Non-flame-retardant epoxy glass laminate with comparable mechanical and electrical properties.
G11: High-temperature epoxy glass laminate designed for more demanding thermal environments.
FR4 / 3240 sheets are commonly selected as a practical alternative to G10 and G11 in most industrial insulation applications.
Features & Benefits:
1. Excellent electrical insulation properties
2. High mechanical strength and rigidity
3. Good thermal resistance and dimensional stability
4. Flame-retardant performance (FR4 grade)
5. Low water absorption and good moisture resistance
6. Good resistance to oils, chemicals, and solvents
7. Easy to machine: cutting, drilling, CNC processing
