ProLam® X - Paper Phenolic
ProLam® X - Paper Phenolic Sheets, Rods and Tubes from Professional Plastics are manufactured from high strength paper bonded with a phenolic resin. The resulting material is a tough laminate with a high impact resistance, excellent tensile, compressive and flexural strengths. ProLam® X Grade has the highest mechanical strength of the paper-based phenolic group, however, it is not equal to fabric-based grades in impact strength. It is primarily intended for mechanical application where electrical properties are of secondary importance. Discretion should be used in applications where high-humidity and moisture are encountered.
Applications Include: Riser Plates for printed circuit board production lines, Table tops for routers and industrial equipment, Low voltage insulating washers, Coil form insulation bushings, Industrial Bushings, Transformer spacers, Thrust washers, Backing disks, Terminal blocks, and Cams
- For better electrical properties consider ProLam® CE Canvas Phenolic or ProLam® LE Phenolic.

Etched PTFE
PTFE is an amazing non-stick material, but what about when you need to glue it to the suface of another material ? In order to bond standard PTFE to another surface such as stainless steel, a process called "etching" is required. Typical applications would include the lining of chemical process tanks or other equipment used in caustic environments. When bonding is needed, sodium ammonia etching is usually the most economical answer. This process uses of a mixture of sodium and ammonia that is formulated to create a bondable surface both quickly and efficiently. Sodium/ammonia etching service complies with all applicable commercial, military & federal specifications for the surface treatment of all fluoropolymers including: PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE, PCTFE, PVDF, PVF, & ECTFE.
From microchips to full size rolls, fluoropolymers of any shape or complexity, including tape, sheet, tubing, molded shapes & machined parts of any configuration can be etched & bonded. This treatment can be accomplished on one or more surfaces, or selectively within close tolerances.
- Note: Etched surfaces will discolor to a brown appearance.
- May be Etched on One Side (EOS)(Standard) or Two Sides (E2S)

![Semitron® ESd Overview]( "Semitron® ESd Overview")
Semitron® ESd Overview
The Semitron® ESd family of static dissipative products was designed by MCAM-Quadrant for use where electrical discharge in operation is a problem. They are commonly used for sensitive electronic components including: integrated circuits, hard disk drives and circuit boards. Semitron products are also an excellent choice for material handling applications, and components in high speed electronic printing and reproducing equipment.
Semitron® ESd products are inherently dissipative and electrically stable unlike many other "dissipative" plastic shapes. They do not rely on atmospheric phenomena to activate, nor are surface treatments used to achieve dissipation. Static electricity is dissipated through these products as readily as it is dissipated along the surface. All of these products dissipate 5 KV in less than 2 seconds per Mil-B-81705C.
