Tufnol laminates

Tufnol laminates have a wide range of characteristics and it is important to select the correct type for each application. To assist in this, in the following, the tufnol laminates grades have been divided into groups. The principal features of each group of tufnol laminates are described, together with the more detailed product data available will help you to focus on the most suitable group for a particular application. The detailed information given about tufnol laminates will assist with the choice of a particular grade within the group and the final choice can be confirmed by reference to the specific data given.

Tufnol laminates plastic supplier?

The designer who is considering using tufnol laminates for a particular application should always bear in mind the fact that the material has a laminar structure and therefore has different strengths in different directions relative to the layers. It is therefore essential to ensure that the correct section of tufnol laminates material is chosen so that the laminations lie in the best direction to deal with the stresses involved. Even where components are not required to withstand any load in use, machining to produce the component itself causes stress to the tufnol laminates material. Lack of consideration for the structure of the tufnol laminates can lead to fracture during production, handling or transit. Many laminates are slightly sensitive to stress concentration and, as with other materials, wherever possible it is good design practice to avoid stress raising features such as sharp internal corners or sudden changes in section of the tufnol laminates.
