B38 Epoxy Glass Laminate

B38 epoxy glass laminate incorporates a brominated epoxy resin system, allowing it to display V0 self-extinguishing and flame retardancy properties. This, combined with its excellent electrical resistance and mechanical properties, makes it a popular choice for electronic and electromechanical application components that have an increased chance of coming into contact with naked flames. This material is supplied as a direct alternative to genuine TUFNOL® 10G41.

If required, we can also manufacture B38 into bespoke manufactured components using our in-house machining facilities. These may include CNC milling, routing, turning and drilling. For additional information along with examples of our work, please visit our machining service page.

B38 is manufactured to BS EN 60893 Standard: 3-2-EPGC202.
