Re: G10



Brian:
	My Port Plastics Catalog has the following G10 information:

PORT PLASTICS, INC carries a full line of laminates that are available in
sheets, rods, tubes, or specialty shapes (angles, channels, zees, etc).  As
compared to thermoformable plastics, which soften with heat, these are
thermoset plastics.  Once the initial cure takes place it is not possible
to change the products basic shape without machining.

Thin sheets of resin impregnated materials (paper, cloth, or glass) are
laid upon each other; then under high heat and pressure, cure to form a
solid mass.  Base materials are normally paper, cloth or glass fabric. 
Resins normally used include phenolic, polyester, silicone, melamine and
epoxy systems.  These variables yield an unlimited number of possibilities
for characteristics and properties needed for the most demanding
applications.

The following sizes are available:

ROD:	.062" to 8.000" diameter (Some diameters machined from sheet)

SHEET:	.01 5" - 16" Thick
12" X 12" to 48" x 120" size range Cut to size is another service PORT
PLASTICS, Inc. can offer with a tolerance as close as +/- .005". (Be sure
to check with your PORT PLASTICS branch for tolerances)
TUBE:    1/8" - 65" ID range - various OD's
PORT PLASTICS, INC. will stock custom sizes, formulations and grades.
