G-11 is a glass epoxy laminate that has some properties in common with G-10. Its most notable property is its ability to withstand very high temperatures.

Atlas Fibre carries G-11 and several other glass epoxy laminates. Learn more about the benefits, uses, and properties of G-11.

What Is G-11?

What Is G-11?

G-11 is a thermoset industrial fiberglass laminate made from filament glass cloth and an epoxy resin. Its natural color ranges from yellow-green to amber. G-11 has great mechanical and insulative strength in a range of conditions. Its insulating and temperature resistance properties are greater than those of G-10.

Two classes of G-11 glass epoxy are available. Class H is intended for use in applications for operating temperatures up to 180 degrees Celsius. Class F is designed for use in applications with temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius.

G-11 is related to FR-5 glass epoxy, which is the flame-retardant version.

Notable G-11 properties* include:

  • Tensile strength: 63,000 psi
  • Compressive strength: 37,000 psi
  • Flexural strength – LW -A 0.125″: 75,000 psi
  • Bond strength: 2,200 psi 15 MPa
  • Shear strength: 22,000 psi 151 MPa
  • Hardness, M scale: 112
  • Specific gravity: 1.82
  • Flammability rating: 94HB
  • Maximum temperature: 180° Celsius (356° Fahrenheit)
  • Water absorption — 24 hours: 0.20
  • Izod impact strength at 49°C – LW: 12.00

G-11 vs. G-10

G-11 and G-10 are both types of glass epoxy. They have several properties in common and a few notable differences. G-11 has a higher operating temperature than G-10 glass epoxy. G-11 also has better mechanical properties at higher temperatures compared to G-10. It is generally noted to be a better insulator than G-10.

G-11 Fabrication

G-11 can be machined using standard cutting tools. It can also be wound into tubes using the convolute or filament winding methods.

Benefits of G-11

G-11 has several benefits. It’s appropriate for use in both wet and dry conditions and can withstand temperatures up to 180 degrees Celsius (depending on the grade).

The notable benefits of G-11 include:

  • Chemical resistance
  • Low moisture absorption
  • High impact strength
  • High dielectric strength
  • High tensile strength
  • High flexural strength
  • Radiation resistance
  • Low cold flow
  • Low dissipation factor
  • Dimensional stability
  • Cryogenic serviceability
