Laminates, Sheets, Rods Selection Guide

This range is largely used for its mechanical as well as electrical properties and includes presspapers, rigid composites, rods and tubes. See our selection of laminates here.

These materials are crafted by traditional methods giving exceptional quality and enhanced performance from paper based presspapers and Paxolin materials in several different grades, to high temperature, high performance GPR materials.

The majority of materials are available in sheet form or as tubes or rods, and we are able to offer a milling/machine service to supply in the final format required.
