G-10 is a fiberglass/epoxy composite, not a phenolic material.

The "G-10" designation is derived from a NEMA (National Electrical
Manufacturers
Association  [www.nema-dot-org]) specification.

Along with many other standards, NEMA provides requirements for insulating
materials used in electrical switchgear, etc.

Hi all

I have been trying to find out what the English equivalent name for G10 is.
Nobody in the composites group here has heard of it.  Could someone please
post a description and specification.  All I have gathered so far is that it
is a phenolic composite.  Can anyone confirm/deny this?  What is the
reinforcement? What are it's mechanical properties?

Thanks.
