About the Material
Garolite G-10 (also known as phenolic and epoxy-grade industrial laminate) is a composite material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Additionally, it does not absorb water and is an excellent insulator, which makes it really useful for electronics applications.
Material Properties
Tensile Strength | Elongation at Break | Hardness | Density | Maximum Temperature | McMaster Part Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35,000-50,000 PSI | Not rated | Rockwell M110 | 0.069 lbs / cubic in | 265° F | 8667k151 |
Material Finish
Garolite G-10 comes in a variety of mostly opaque colors (such as green and yellow, depending on availability). It is smooth and has a matte surface when machined. Additionally, Garolite G-10 can be machined to a variety of surface roughnesses.

Garolite G-10 FAQs
ABS plastic is a low-cost engineering plastic, widely used for pre-injection molding prototypes. CNC machined ABS is a great option for production-like parts, where detail and mechanical properties are important.
Depending on the desired outcome for the project, ABS plastic can either be cut or engraved using CNC milling.
ABS plastic is an excellent choice for general purpose prototyping, pre-molding prototypes, parts that will receive impact and require toughness, or when low cost is desired.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is an automated, subtractive manufacturing process where a CNC machine is controlled with a set of commands that, when followed, will produce a part. CNC operators create….
