Description

Grade RTB324FR is constructed of a fine weave cotton fabric which has been bleached to remove impurities, and a modified phenolic resin with powdered PTFE added for lubrication as well as a flame retardant added. It has low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability and chemical resistance.

This material data has been provided by Norplex Micarta.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
