Micarta® plastics are an industrial laminated plastic created with resin-based thermoset materials reinforced with fiberglass, cotton cloth, paper, carbon fiber or other substrates by applying heat and pressure to these layers. There are several resins for Micarta laminates, which include Phenolic, epoxy, silicone, and melamine. The Micarta laminates have excellent strength, and a strong resistance to heat, stress, and corrosive chemicals. Micarta laminates are commonly used in electrical insulation, aerospace, automotive, and several other applications. Benchmark Industrial Plastics have these laminates in raw material form and specialize in close tolerance Micarta machining
These laminates are grouped by their reinforcement and resin. Each combination gives a different balance of strength, dielectric performance and machinability, so the right grade depends on where the part will be used.
Tell us the application and we will recommend a grade.
Benchmark machines these laminates on in-house CNC routers, so parts can be cut to tight tolerances and turned around quickly. Typical parts include:
