As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade.Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring Tape
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Sanitizing Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sheet [X]
Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sneeze Guards and like products require special care while cleaning and disinfecting. To maintain the optical clarity of sneeze guards and other acrylic or polycarbonate items, use an acrylic or polycarbonate safe cleaner like Novus Plastic Polish #1, Brillianize Plastic Cleaner, or a mild soap solution.
Please reference the following compatible cleaners when DISINFECTING acrylic and polycarbonate items. The use of commonly available commercial alcohol or ammonia-based disinfectants may cause crazing and damage.
G10 glass epoxy laminate phenolic sheet is a versatile material composed of layers of glass cloth saturated with an epoxy resin. It has great mechanical strength, stiffness, and resistance to chemicals. G10 phenolic exhibits excellent electrical properties but is non-flame retardant. For flame retardant properties, see our G10/FR4 glass epoxy composite sheet.
Superb Mechanical Properties
G10 phenolic is a dimensionally stable sheet with a great combination of mechanical strength and stiffness that will remain relatively consistent across a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for use in both hot and cold environments. It offers high tensile strength, compressive strength, and good flexural strength, allowing it to withstand applications that will pull, squeeze, or bend the sheet. Unlike its successor, G10/FR4, G10 phenolic is not flame retardant and should not be used for applications requiring flame resistance.
Electrically Insulating
Phenolic G10 has excellent electrical properties. A high dielectric strength enables it to withstand electrical currents without breaking down, and its low dissipation factor and dielectric constant ensures minimal loss and distortion in signal transmission. G10 can be used as a material for printed circuit boards and is frequently used as insulation or in electrical enclosures and other electronic components.
Great Chemical Resistance
G10 exhibits remarkable chemical resistance, making it suitable for applications where exposure to harsh chemicals is prevalent. It resists a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, and oils. This resistance prevents degradation or deterioration of the material when exposed to such substances, ensuring long-term durability and reliability in challenging environments. G10's chemical resistance makes it a preferred material choice in a number of industries where corrosion is a concern, including the chemical processing, marine, and automotive industries.
