Product Description
Fiberglass FR4 Insulation Material is one of the composite materials that are widely used in electronics. Its components consist of glass fiber cloth soaked in resin called epoxy, and after this it gets hardened through heat or pressure to become a stiff and resilient sheet. The reason why these sheets are commonly used as printed circuit board (PCB) substrates is their ability to hold complex circuitry as well as operate under severe conditions. FR4 sheets also tend to retard flame hence they can be used in areas where fire hazard may arise. They have outstanding electrical insulating abilities, excellent mechanical strength, and can tolerate high temperatures plus resistance to chemicals.

Fiberglass FR4 Insulation Material Features:
1. Material Composition: Also known as flame retardant, FR-4 epoxy sheet is a composite material made from epoxy resins and woven fiberglass cloth.
2. Mechanical Strength: Its fiberglass contents give it a high degree of mechanical strength hence its suitability in many structural applications.
3. Electrical Insulation: Perfect electrical insulating properties make the materials suitable for printed circuit board (PCB) and other electrical insulation uses.
4. Thermal Stability: This indicates good thermal stability, meaning that it retains its properties over a broad temperature range; normally, it can bear heat up to around 130 to 140 degrees C.
5. Flame Retardancy: Consequently, flame resistant according to UL94-V0 standard for electronic safety measures.
6. Dimensional Stability: Because of its high dimensional stability i.e., under mechanical stress or thermal cycling it does not deform easily under such conditions.
7. Moisture Resistance: It absorbs very little water thus maintaining electric insulating properties even when placed in humid surroundings.
8. Machinability: Further tolerance of it against drilling cutting and shaping by means of conventional tools without major wear also add up to this material’s machinability characteristics.
9. Chemical Resistance: The main benefit of this feature is that it helps maintain the integrity of the material in harsh environments as well as chemical resistance towards a wide range of chemicals and solvents.
Fiberglass FR4 Insulation Material Application:
It is widely used as structural parts in motors and electrical equipment, including various switches, electrical insulation, FPC reinforcement boards, carbon film printed circuit boards, computer drilling pads, mold fixtures, etc. (PCB testing Frame); and can be used in humid environments and transformer oil.
