Tufnol suppliers

[ukracer]

I am trying to find some tufnol 20mm thick. Approx 100mm x 1000mm.
Anyone know of a decent supplier we don't have anyone round here now sadly.

If Tufnol is the same as SRBF then these folks:

SRBF

I've had quite a bit of 6mm SRBP cut-to-size from them.
Very prompt service.

SRBF is a bit more expensive than SRBP
(SRB = synthetic resin bonded ...P=paper ...F=fibre)

Tufnol aka Paxolin, Croylam, Phenolic Cotton, SRBP & SRBF

Try Plastics Direct either;
On ebay
Or Their website

(No connection just satisfied customer).

Is it for electrical insulation?

CARP for gears, WHALE for electrical if I remember correctly

Think that Tufnol Composites are still in business, but they may have been devoured by their own menagerie....

Guide for a welder.

They get clamped Into a brace and drill a hole in as a guide, then a spot welder clamps down 3 spots at One time

I used to get it from a plastics place, several around me sold it but I always ended up at a place on the old aerodrome on Purley Way.
I made carb spacers from it, I should remember the thickness as I have bits of it in my scrap cabinet, but can't.

We had similar guides at Longbridge on some of the spot welding fixtures, they used a hard wearing white plastic type material, Tufnol would burn/char and flake away with the heat.
