NP500A - Epoxy Glass Sheet

NP500A is constructed of a woven glass fabric combined with easy-machining, non-brominated epoxy resin. It is engineered to provide NEMA grade G-10 properties, but is easier to machine and more cost effective in many applications. Applications for NP500A include; low temperature thermal insulation, structural applications and various other mechanical, and electrical applications at low to moderately high temperatures. NP500A meets or exceeds the requirements of MIL-I-24768/2.

NP500A (NEMA G-10) is a glass fabric combined with a halogen-free epoxy resin system. The product offers a combination of excellent electrical characteristics and superior physical properties. In addition, it is not flame retardant and meets NEMA G-10 requirements. NP500A is used for structural support and insulation properties. It is also suitable for pipe shoes and vacuum applications. NP500A complies with the requirements of MIL-I-24768/2, Type GEE, and IPC 4101, sheet 20.

Safety Data Sheet

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) (formerly Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)) includes information such as the physical, health, and environmental health hazards of the material.

G-10 and G-11 vs. FR-4 and FR-5 Brominated Materials

Brominated epoxy resin systems used in FR-4 and FR-5 materials were originally created to stop or retard potential fire hazards caused by over-heating or electrical failure resulting in arcing. While HBr is very effective at flame retardation, the resulting white smoke (HBr) can corrode copper, standard grade mild and stainless steels and most other metals. In 1998 NEMA updated their standards to differentiate G-10 and G-11 from FR-4 and FR-5. This update specifically excludes the use of bromine or other halogen flame retardants in the production of G-10 or G-11.
