G-11 Epoxy

G-11 is a thermosetting industrial laminate consisting of a continuous filament glass cloth material with a high temperature epoxy resin binder. This grade was developed in the late 1950's to fill the need for a higher temperature G-10 type material when used in printed circuit boards.

The mechanical and electrical properties of G-11 are excellent. G-11 is rated at 300 degrees F continuous operating temperature. As with G-10, no melting will occur; however charring will occur after extended periods above the temperature rating. Even at elevated temperatures, G-11 has a low dielectric loss and has a retention of 50% of mechanical properties at 300 degrees F. Because of these characteristics, this material should be used in applications where temperatures in excess of 125 degrees C are encountered.

Today, G-11 is used in many unrelated applications including high temperature, cryogenic, and radiation.
