APPLICATION NOTE: ELECTRICAL FLAT SHEET
GLASS SELECTION:
SI Veils and light weight reinforcement mats are specifically engineered for EFS applications. Their electrical properties make them ideal for either surface enhancement or in thin sheet laminate reinforcements. Veil widths are to the customer’s specification, allowing for less waste and lowering manufacturing costs. Binder percentage ranges may also be specified, giving the designer greater flexibility.
When selecting the correct product, consider the overall desired outcome, either surface enhancement, thin sheet reinforcement or both.
Typically, Pearlveil-110 (Series 100 Binder),10Mil or 20 Mil is used on both the top and bottom sides of the laminate. See Technical Data Sheet for options.
For thin sheet applications, typically 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch, selectPearlveil-110, ½ ounce.

FEATURES:
SI Veils offer many features for EFS applications.
SI Veils offer many features for EFS applications.
• Excellent wet-out,
• Excellent glass electrical insulation properties,
• Widest roll widths within the industry,
• Long length rolls, thus reducing number of rolls required while improving manufacturing efficiency,
• Custom specified binder range percentage,
• Highly corrosion resistant under acidic conditions
• Contaminant free, making it safe for EFS,
• White in color, making it transparent in the finished part,
• Excellent punch-ability properties (no glass fuzz), and
• Glass is easily sanded for smooth part finishing.

OVERVIEW:
The Electrical Flat Sheet (EFS) Process is a unique variation of compression molding. EFS laminates are typically made in sizes up to 4 foot by 8 foot sheets, with a thickness anywhere between 1/16 inch and 6 inches.
The completed sheets are typically cut into various shapes or strips that are used as electrical insulators. Finished shapes are used in such areas as automotive electrical components, by power companies for transformer isolation, buss bars and large equipment requiring proper electrical isolation.
