Exotic Substrates

Exotic substrate materials are truly a designers dream. From high end aramid and carbon fibers to composite combinations of different materials including thermoplastics, metals and ceramics, these materials can be tailor made to meet the specific demands of an application.

To learn more about these materials, please continue your selection below.

NP338

NP338 is a combination of two Norplex-Micarta grades, NP310 which is a canvas phenolic, on one side of the laminate, and NP315, a canvas phenolic with graphite added as a solid lubricant on the other side of the laminate. NP338 is ideal for applications requiring high impact strength and low coefficient of friction such as railway couplers. Material is conductive to electricity and should not be used where conductivity is detrimental to the application.

NP900

It consists of a core made from paper and a phenolic resin system that is combined with rubber on one side and frequently a fiber cover opposite the rubber.

NP634

NP634 is a combination of a NP611 core combined with phenolic glass cover plies.

MC450SB

MC450SB - StormBlocker™ is a high strength composite panel composed of a woven fiberglass surface combined with a proprietary core which was developed to withstand 250mph winds and the flying debris generated by F-5 tornadoes and CAT-5 hurricanes.

NP193P

NP193P combines woven aramid fiber/glass fabric combined with a high temperature phenolic resin system.

NP101

NP101 (NEMA N-1) uses a modified phenolic resin on a woven nylon fabric substrate.
