FR4 G10 Epoxy Fiber Glass Parts HONY®FR4 is a NEMA grade designation for glass-reinforced epoxy laminate material. FR-4 is a composite material composed of woven fiber cloth with an epoxy resin binder that is flame resistant (self-extinguishing). "FR" stands for "flame retardant", and does not denote that the material complies with the standard UL94V-0 unless testing is performed to UL 94, Vertical Flame testing in Section 8 at a compliant lab. The designation FR-4 was created by NEMA in 1968. FR-4 glass epoxy is a popular and versatile high-pressure thermoset plastic laminate grade with good strength to weight ratios. With near zero water absorption, FR-4 is most commonly used as an electrical insulator possessing considerable mechanical strength. The material is known to retain its high mechanical values and electrical insulating qualities in both dry and humid conditions. These attributes, along with good fabrication characteristics, lend utility to this grade for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical applications. Grade designations for glass epoxy laminates are: G-10 ,G-11, FR-4, FR-5 and FR-6. Of these, FR-4 is the grade most widely in use today. G-10, the predecessor to FR-4, lacks FR-4's self-extinguishing flammability characteristics. Hence, FR-4 has replaced G-10 in most applications. FR-4 epoxy resin systems typically employ bromine, a halogen, to facilitate flame-resistant properties in FR-4 glass epoxy laminates. Some applications where thermal destruction of the material is a desirable trait will still use G-10 non flame resistant. G10 FR4 glass epoxy laminate Grade: G10/G11 Fiber Reinforced Composite Colour: Sheets are supplied in green Thickness: 0.80mm to 35mm Subcategory: Epoxy; Filled/Reinforced Thermoset; Polymer; Thermoset G10 FR4 glass epoxy laminate Description: Fr4 G10 Glass Epoxy Cutting Board is specified for its extremely high strength and high dimensional stability over temperature. G-11 is used for terminal boards, high humidity applications, electrical and electronic test equipment and electric rotor insulation. G-11 is difficult to cut or machine and may require special equipment. G-10 is slightly Stronger while G-11 is a better insulator and can withstand higher temperature G-11 and similar fibreglass reinforced thermosets are sometimes known as Garolite.

Arlington Heights DFC administers aid to injured police officer 12-12-13
The Chicago Tribune has updated its report on last night’s incident involving a barricaded suspect and the injury of a police officer, now including details that Arlington Heights Deputy Fire Chief Ken Koeppen, along with responding officers, provided immediate first aid to Officer Michael McEvoy before paramedics arrived.
According to officials, Deputy Fire Chief Ken Koeppen was credited with saving the life of Officer McEvoy after he was shot in the chin during a tense encounter. The incident occurred when officers responded to a call about a man threatening his ex-girlfriend with a gun. Koeppen, who was visiting the area, rushed to assist as soon as he saw the flashing lights.
“I was having dinner with my father-in-law when I saw the lights,†Koeppen said. “I went out to help. I just gave them a hand.†He described how he worked to stabilize the injured officer, applying pressure to the wound and helping control the bleeding until emergency medical services arrived.
Cmdr. Andrew Whowell praised Koeppen’s quick response, calling it “an act of God†that he was nearby. “He was definitely an integral part in saving the officer’s life,†Whowell said. “Ken Koeppen was a hero in all this.â€
Officer McEvoy, 52 and a 24-year veteran, was among four officers who responded to a call from a woman claiming that Eric M. Anderson had shown up at her home despite a protection order issued earlier that week. When officers arrived, the woman had taken refuge at a neighbor’s house, and Anderson was holding her daughter inside the residence.
McEvoy was the first to enter the home and was shot in the chin. Two other officers helped pull him to safety, at which point Koeppen arrived and began treating the officer until he could be transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, where he was listed in critical but stable condition.
Meanwhile, dozens of officers surrounded the neighborhood, attempting to negotiate with Anderson. Police reportedly shot out streetlights for tactical reasons. Around 10:30 p.m., Anderson forced his ex-girlfriend into a garage and pointed a gun at responding officers. She fled, and officers returned fire, striking Anderson multiple times.
Anderson, 41, was taken to Northwest Community Hospital and later pronounced dead at 11:02 p.m. by the Cook County medical examiner. McEvoy is expected to make a full recovery, according to Whowell, who noted that the bullet did not hit any vital organs, though the officer lost a significant amount of blood.
McEvoy, a patrol officer and forensic technician, is not married, and his family has requested privacy. Whowell added that there had been no prior incidents involving Anderson at the Arlington Heights address, and local police had not encountered him before.
However, a McHenry County judge had issued an emergency protection order against Anderson on Monday after the 39-year-old woman reported harassment and stalking. According to her petition, Anderson continued to contact her via phone and email, even after she broke up with him on November 25. He also sent her money and an apology card, but she expressed distrust in him.
She claimed that Anderson approached her vehicle at a stoplight and punched her rolled-up window. Upon returning home, he was waiting for her, knowing personal details about her whereabouts and claiming he could bypass her home alarm system. She called the police, who reportedly warned him not to bother her, but he continued to harass her.
Anderson was arrested and charged with two counts of electronic harassment, but was released on bond shortly after. A court hearing was scheduled for December 23 regarding the protection order. McHenry County prosecutors were unavailable for comment at the time of the report.
