Title: Dark matter
Post by: HMlongbow on February 28, 2016, 08:39:00 PM

Checking in to see if anyone knows who sells the black matter material?  I understand it is a woven fiberglass material that is strong and used mainly in handles and I beams for handles.

thanks,
Dave

g10 material properties

This glass-epoxy laminate is specified for its extremely high strength and high dimensional stability over temperature. G-10 is used for terminal boards, high humidity applications, electrical and electronic test equipment and electric rotor insulation. G-10 is difficult to cut or machine and may require special equipment. G-10 is slightly stronger while G-11 is a better insulator and can withstand higher temperatures. FR-4 is a fire-retardant G-10 glass-epoxy laminate that is used primarily in the printed circuit board industry. G-10 and similar fiberglass reinforced thermosets are sometimes known as garolite.

thanks to all who have responded I will try Big Jim as always and give Dale a call.  I have used his materials before and a great guy to deal with as well.  
Thanks
