HIGH STRENGTH – HIGH ARC RESISTANT PANEL BOARD
Arboron and EPG are paper-based industrial and decorative laminates impregnated with phenolic resin and thermoset under high heat and pressure to form solid, dense sheet products. Both offer excellent electrical and mechanical properties.
Arboron features melamine outer layers that provide superior chemical and abrasion resistance, enhanced electrical performance, and flame-retardant properties. Arboron is recognized and listed under Underwriters Laboratories Inc.® File # E96516 (M) for material thicknesses over 0.240 inches.
In contrast, EPG lacks the melamine outer layers, making it well-suited for general-purpose applications where UL flame-retardancy is less critical but where solid electrical insulation is still required.
Both grades offer exceptional machinability, including sawing, milling, routing, drilling, tapping, countersinking, and counterboring.
Common Applications Include:
- Switchgear and control mounting panels
