What Sets This Material Apart

The tanged prongs secure the bond between the graphite and metal core without relying on the adhesive bonding used for flat metal foil laminates.

Recommendations for Replacement Evaluations

When evaluating alternative solutions, compare the core type and thickness against your specific flange loads and cutting requirements.

To compare construction designs: Durlon FGT316 and KLINGER Graphite Laminate PSM. The metallic core reinforces the graphite, but its thickness, geometry, and bonding method vary by grade.
