Tufnol 6F45 Machined Parts to Customer Specification
A Cotton fabric based epoxy laminate. Tufnol Machining Tufnol 6F45 A Fine weave cotton/Epoxy resin laminated plastic (SRBF – Synthetic Resin Bonded Fabric) 
Some general information, from the ® TUFNOL website, about synthetic resin bonded fabrics for engineering applications and Machined components.
Firstly
Firstly,® TUFNOL 6F45 epoxy cotton grade has a unique combination of properties, which makes it particularly useful for applications requiring extra performance. Especially relevant is the good all-round performance, good dimensional stability and outstanding machinability. While its principal features are its excellent electrical properties, .
Secondly
Secondly,® Tufnol 6F45 is made with a specially modified epoxy resin. Which, importantly, gives a high insulation resistance and electric strength also exceptional resistance to surface electrical tracking. These first class electrical properties, combined with the excellent wear resistance of the finer weave cotton, provide a combination of properties not found in other grades.
Most noteworthy, grade ® Tufnol 6F45 is mechanically strong and ultimately resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Furthermore, it has low water absorption and good dimensional stability. As a result giving fine tolerances and a superb machined finish.
