Default Get phenolic

I'm not sure if I've posted it somewhere already... USPlastics (usplastics.com) recently added phenolic sheets to their inventory.

I'm still searching for the manufacturer, for more specs. So far, I've found another reseller (k-mac-plastics.net) and the TM for the phenolic is "Acculamâ„¢".

I'll post more info as digging continues.

Otherwise, the stock is available in 4 grades:

XX - paper base laminate
CE - laminate with canvas base fabric
LE - fine weave cotton fabric base
G-10 - continuous filament woven glass fabric grade

More grades, sources from k-mac.

Is paper based laminate good for insulation? They have garolite XX over at mcmaster in 1/8"x6"X6" for around $4. Would that work?

edit: they also have
Garolite Grade G-10
Garolite Grade G-11
Garolite Grade G-30
Garolite Grade G-7
Garolite Grade G-9
Garolite/PTFE
Garolite LE
Graphite-Impregnated Garolite

Which is the best for insulation?

As expected, the manufacturer is at www.acculam.com (Accurate Plastics).

Some more distributors of the above:
k-mac-plastics.net
portplastics.com
acetal-rod-sheet.com (dead?)
phenolic-sheets-rods-tubes.com
sdplastics.com
calsakplastics.com
professionalplastics.com
modernplastics.com
plasticdistribution.net

(nikhsub1; you might want to check these out for Delrin (aka Acetal) tubes)

Sounds like "Garolite" is exactly the same stuff (all the same grades as Acculam).

For reference, the G-10 stuff, aka FR4, is sometimes used for PCB (printed circuit boards).

I'm going to concentrate my Googling on "thermoset laminate"; hopefully ruling out a single manufacturer.

Thanks for the tip; Have you been through their cut-off bin?

They also have a nice clearance section.
