RS PRO introduces the range of synthetic resin bonded paper tubes (SRBP). These synthetic resin tubes, also known as plastic laminate, have great mechanical strength, low water absorption and offers resistance to corrosion from weather and chemicals. These resin tubes are ideal for situations where electrical insulation is needed and provide a low-cost option when a strong and rigid non-metallic tube is required.

• Commercial quality paper-based laminate means you get a fantastic product whilst still keeping your costs low
• Ideal for low voltage installations, jigs and fixtures
• Synthetic resin makes for a very tough and durable material making it resistant to weather changes and chemicals
• SRBP is an insulator so makes a perfect replacement for metallic tubes when electrical insulation is required
• Maximum working temperature of 90°C, with short periods up to 120°C
• Density of 1.35 g/cm³
• Outer diameter is 15.8mm

Synthetic resin bonded paper tubes, also known as phenolic paper laminate tubes, are primarily used as electrical insulation components, for example, bobbins, coil formers, insulating spacers and sleeving due to their great insulation properties. Commonly found in a variety of workplaces for different applications such as structural components, handles and even containers for pyrotechnics and other such products.

This type of plastic is a special form of polymer-matrix compound consisting of layers of reinforcing materials that have been impregnated with thermosetting resins, bonded together and cured under heat and pressure. Laminated plastics are available in sheet, tube and rod forms which can be cut and machined for a variety of uses.
