Tufnol 1P13 Plastic Sheet 8mm Thick Heat Resistant Engineering Grade

Tufnol 1P13 Plastic Sheet 8mm Thick Strong Machinable Material

Tufnol 1P13 in 8mm thickness is a heavy gauge SRBF sheet, made by bonding many layers of woven fabric with synthetic resin under heat and pressure. This thick sheet gives outstanding stiffness and a solid, uniform structure that holds its shape under serious loads. It suits engineers who need a strong, accurate and long lasting material for demanding mechanical and electrical jobs.

Key Features

• Thick laminate build: Dense fabric layers bonded with resin for strength through the full 8mm depth
• Density: 1.36 g/cm³ for sheet and 1.35 g/cm³ for rod
• Tensile strength: 68 MPa for dependable pulling resistance
• Cross breaking strength: 130 MPa for firm resistance to bending
• Compressive strength: 310 MPa flatwise and 200 MPa edgewise for crushing loads
• Working temperature: 120°C continuous and 130°C intermittent
• Specific heat: 1.5 kJ/kgK for steady thermal behaviour
• Deep 8mm gauge: Allows thick machined parts, deep grooves and tapped holes

Ideal For

• Heavy duty insulating blocks and switchgear supports
• Bearing blocks, wear pads and sliding guides
• Machined gears, rollers and pulley components
• Base supports, mounting blocks and spacers
• Production jigs, fixtures and tooling
• Plant maintenance and replacement parts

Tufnol 1P13 is a smart pick when a thick sheet must stay strong and stable under pressure and heat. It can be sawn, drilled, turned and milled with standard workshop tools, so finishing parts is simple and accurate.
