FR4 Fiberglass Sheets
FR4 fiberglass sheets combine woven fiberglass cloth with epoxy resin to create high-strength laminates with self-extinguishing properties. Designated as Flame Retardant level 4, these sheets meet National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) grade FR4 standards and are equivalent to G10 with added flame-retardant additives.
The woven fiberglass and epoxy matrix delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and dimensional stability. With flexural strength exceeding 55,000 psi lengthwise and compressive strength up to 60,000 psi flatwise, the material maintains structural integrity while providing excellent electrical insulation. The sheets resist moisture, corrosion, and chemicals, operating continuously at temperatures up to 285°F with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 94 V-0 flame rating.
Standard FR4 sheets serve as substrates for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and electrical insulators, while high-performance variants offer enhanced thermal stability for demanding applications. Available thicknesses range from 0.5mm to 50mm with smooth gloss or matte finishes. Key specifications include specific gravity of 1.82-1.85, water absorption below 0.25% per 24 hours, and dielectric strength above 50 kV.
FR4 sheets machine easily with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) routers, waterjets, and lasers. Standard sizes include 1020mm x 1220mm and 1220mm x 2440mm, with custom dimensions available up to 60 x 120 inches. Manufacturers offer precision machining, cutting, and finishing services to meet specific application requirements.
