About Slot Wedge Thermoset Options From Atlas Fibre

We offer in-stock and customized thermoset solutions for many different industries and uses.

Thermoset Composites

Atlas Fibre manufactures and supplies a comprehensive range of thermoset materials for slot wedges. Our options include:

  • G-9: Our G-9 is a glass melamine laminate with superior flame resistance, hardness, and strength-to-weight ratio. It withstands environmental stressors like moisture, chemicals, and operating temperatures up to 140 degrees Celsius (284 degrees Fahrenheit). We recommend G-9 slot wedges for motor repair in most cases.
  • G-5: Atlas Fibre’s G-5 material is also a glass melamine laminate with the same high-temperature capability range. It’s lightweight with high tensile strength and excellent machinability to engineer wedges with tight tolerances and snug fits.
  • G-10: Our G-10 material features woven fiberglass with an epoxy resin binder for exceptional flexural, dielectric, and tensile strength. Its inherent properties include withstanding high-temp environments up to 140 degrees Celsius (284 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Phenolics: Atlas Fibre creates and supplies several phenolic materials that are viable for slot wedge manufacture. Each offers high strength-to-weight ratios and durability.
