Superior Electrical and Flame Resistance

Engineered for applications where safety and reliability are paramount, HYLAM Phenolic Sheets provide excellent electrical insulation and a self-extinguishing flame resistance property. This makes them a preferred material for use in switchboards, electrical panels, and other settings that require reliable protection against electrical faults and fire risks.

Wide Range of Applications and Dimensions

Offered in standard 4 ft x 4 ft sheets and thickness options from 3 mm to 50 mm, HYLAM sheets are highly versatile. They fit diverse industrial requirements, from creating jigs and fixtures to lining switchboards. The smooth, matte finish not only enhances aesthetics but also improves usability and performance in technical environments.

FAQ's of HYLAM Engineering Plastic:

Q: How is HYLAM Engineering Plastic Sheet beneficial for electrical applications?

A: HYLAM sheets provide excellent electrical insulation and flame resistance, making them especially suitable for electrical panels, switchboards, and related applications. Their high mechanical strength ensures durability and safety in demanding environments.

Q: What is the manufacturing process used for HYLAM sheets?

A: HYLAM sheets are produced using the compression molding process with phenolic resin as the main material. This process results in sheets with consistent density, high strength, and superior thermal and electrical properties.

Q: When should I use HYLAM sheets instead of other plastics?

A: Choose HYLAM sheets when your application demands excellent electrical insulation, self-extinguishing flame resistance, high mechanical strength, and low water absorption-all in environments up to 120C.

Q: Where are HYLAM Engineering Plastic Sheets commonly used?

A: These sheets are widely used in India for electrical panels, switchboards, jigs, fixtures, and various bespoke industrial applications where safety, insulation, and mechanical integrity are critical.

Q: How should HYLAM sheets be handled during installation?

A: Due to their inherent rigidity and high strength, HYLAM sheets can be cut, drilled, and machined using standard tools. Handle with care to preserve the surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Q: What are the main benefits of the matte/smooth surface finish?

A: The matte or smooth finish improves the cosmetic appearance, reduces glare, and simplifies maintenance, making the sheets easier to work with for both aesthetic and functional applications.
