For engineering applications throughout industry, LAMITEX® laminated materials provide a unique range of design benefits. LAMITEX® laminates are engineering materials made from layers of fibrous reinforcement such as cotton cloth, paper or woven glass cloth, which are bonded together with high quality plastics resins. The layers are pressed together under high pressure and the resin is baked until it becomes solid, fusing the material into a tough, strong and dense material.

By using different resins, such as phenolic, epoxy or melamine, with different reinforcements of paper, cloth or felts, a range of grades is created with types to suit a wide variety of applications.

LAMITEX® laminates combine mechanical strength and electrical insulation with chemical and weather resistance. They are rigid, with a high strength to weight ratio. They can be machined on standard machine tools to make finished components.

Franklin offers a comprehensive range of grades for many different purposes. To obtain the best results, it is important to use the right grade from the LAMITEX® range to suit the application.
