Epoxy glass laminates like G10, G11, and FR4 are strong and reliable, but direct outdoor UV exposure should not be overlooked.

Prolonged UV exposure can contribute to surface degradation, embrittlement, microcracking, and potential changes in mechanical or electrical performance.

For outdoor applications, engineers should consider exposure duration, moisture, temperature cycling, shielding, coatings, inspection intervals, and whether a different material system is better suited for the environment: https://www.atlasfibre.com/uv-exposure-effects-on-glass-epoxy-laminates/

UV Exposure Effects on Glass Epoxy Laminates Prolonged UV exposure can degrade epoxy-based laminates through surface-level photochemical reactions, leading to measurable reductions in performance.

Heads down. Machines running. Projects moving.

From material preparation to precision composite machining, weeks like this are a reminder of what it takes to support our customers and keep momentum moving across the floor.
