http://accurateplastics.acculam.com/category/laminate-rods? | A variety of laminate rods are available with varying types of laminate suited for many different industries. In terms of hardiness, Epoxyglas and Melaglas are great choices. However, in sensitively heated areas or for industries seeing a high risk of rising temperatures, Siliglas is an optimal solution.

1. The Types of Laminate Round Rods and Their Uses
If you are searching to buy laminate rods, you may have found that a variety of different
types exist. Each manufacturing process and material is slightly different, and these variations
in the laminate round rods create a set of products that bring their own benefits. This list can
be used to compare and contrast the varieties of laminate in rods available according to your
needs.
Epoxyglas Laminate Rod
✓ Laminate Type
Epoxy glass is a laminate grade that is named as such due to the process of impregnation
of woven glass fabrics with epoxy resin based binders, followed by curing with heat and
pressure.
✓ Features
Epoxyglas is known for its versatility and is the most adaptable in the range provided in this
list. It is also developed to be mechanically strong.
It also offers beneficial properties in dielectric loss and electrical strength. It is resilient in
both wet and dry environments.
Typical Epoxyglas rods are natural light yellow/green in color.
✓ Uses
The Epoxy resins are used have a well-founded reputation as providing the versatility and
hardiness required for insulation uses, thanks to its resistance in absorbing water. It can also
be used as both an insulator and a structural part in the electrical assemblies.
Melaglas Laminate Rods
✓ Laminate Type
The resin used to impregnate the plastic in Melaglas laminate is Melamine. The composition
of this laminate includes a cloth base that is glass weave with the added insertion of the
Melamine resin.
✓ Features
Being the hardest of all laminates, Melaglas offers good electrical and mechanical properties
and is available in a variety of forms, sizes and uses. However, Melaglas is used especially
for its resistance to tracking of electrical arcs.
✓ Uses
Due to its hardness and resistance to arcing along with alkali resistance, Melaglas finds many
uses in electrical switches, circuit breakers, fuses.
Siliglas Laminate Rods
✓ Laminate Type

2. As the name suggests, Siliglas is formed via the impregnation of a woven fiberglass fabric
with a silicone resin binder.
✓ Features
Of medium strength, the major beneficial feature of Siliglas is its adaptability in heated
different environments. Despite not being as strong in structure as the other two options, in
higher heats it becomes the preferred option.
✓ Uses
Siliglas is particularly adapted for electronic use in welding and induction apparatus, where
rising or constantly high heat is probable.
