Key Properties

FR Grades are Fire Retardant
High Dielectric Strength
High Mechanical Strength
Low CLTE

Limitations

Difficult to Machine
Properties vary based on reinforcement orientation – higher values are typical when tested parallel to the reinforcement and lower when tested perpendicular to the reinforcement.

Applications

Arc Barriers
Downhole Oil & Gas Components
Electrical Housings
Electrical Insulators
Structural Components
Terminal Boards

Micarta

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
