G10 Composite Custom CNC and Waterjet Parts Canada

G10 is a high-strength composite material made from layers of fiberglass cloth that are impregnated with epoxy resin and then compressed under high pressure and temperature. This manufacturing process results in a dense, durable material with excellent mechanical properties. G10 is widely used in the production of knife handles, circuit boards, electrical insulators, and structural components for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. It is especially popular in environments that demand high strength, electrical insulation, and resistance to moisture, making it ideal for components that must withstand extreme conditions.

The advantages of G10 include its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high impact resistance, and electrical insulation properties. It is also highly resistant to chemicals, moisture, and abrasion, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. G10 can be easily machined, cut, and drilled, making it versatile for a variety of applications, and its non-conductive nature makes it an excellent choice for electrical and electronic components. However, G10 has some disadvantages: it can be brittle under extreme impact or stress, particularly when subjected to sharp blows or stress concentration points. Additionally, the material can be difficult to handle in its raw form due to the fine fiberglass particles it releases during machining, which can irritate the skin or respiratory system. Despite these concerns, G10 remains a popular choice for applications requiring strength, durability, and electrical insulation.
