G10/FR-4 Glass Epoxy | Piedmont Plastics | High-Performance Materials

Premium G10 and FR-4 sheet and Rod for Demanding Applications

G10/FR-4 glass epoxy are high-pressure fiberglass laminates made by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth saturated with epoxy resin and compressing them under heat and pressure. Known for their exceptional mechanical strength, low moisture absorption, and excellent electrical insulating properties, G10 and FR4 materials are trusted in a wide range of demanding environments.

While G10 and FR4 are mechanically identical, FR4 is distinguished by its flame-retardant properties, making it ideal for electrical and electronic applications requiring fire safety compliance. These fiberglass laminates maintain stability across a wide temperature range and perform reliably in harsh operating conditions.

Commonly used in printed circuit boards (PCBs), electrical enclosures, mechanical insulation, and aerospace components, G10/FR4 sheets offer unmatched versatility. Whether for structural support, electrical insulation, or chemical resistance, G10 and FR4 fiberglass laminates deliver reliable performance across industries.

An Expert is just around the corner.

With over 100 years of combined product knowledge and industry experience, we are confident our plastics experts can help you find a solution for your application.
