In the field of electrical insulation and printed circuit boards (PCBs), FR4 fiberglass sheet is one of the most reliable and widely used materials. With exceptional thermal resistance, electrical insulation, and mechanical strength, FR4 is trusted across electronics, automotive, aerospace, power distribution, and telecom industries.
As a global supplier, YILONG provides high-quality FR4 fiberglass sheets that meet international standards, ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications.
FR4 fiberglass sheet is a composite laminate made from woven fiberglass cloth combined with an epoxy resin binder.
FR stands for 'Flame Retardant' and '4' refers to a specific grade of flame-retardant epoxy. Key features include:
- Excellent flame resistance (UL 94-V0)
- Low water absorption
- High dielectric strength
- Stable mechanical properties
Common applications: PCB substrates, insulation barriers, structural supports, and precision components.
