PERTINAKS

Pertinax (HP 2061 / PFCP 201) – paper-phenolic board for electrical and technical use

Pertinax is a laminated board made of multiple layers of electrical paper impregnated with phenolic resin. The board is formed under high pressure and temperature, giving it good mechanical and electrical insulation properties.

Complies with standards DIN 7735 (designation HP 2061) and IEC 60893 (designation PFCP 201).

Properties:

• Good mechanical stability

• Excellent electrical insulation at low voltages

• Easy machining – cutting, drilling, grinding

• Heat resistance up to ~120 °C

• Economical solution for basic technical and electrical applications

Typical applications:

• Electrical insulation boards and spacers

• Support structures for electrical devices

• Gaskets, bearing plates and sliding elements

• Model making and educational devices

• Mechanical parts in medium-load environments

Standards and designations:

• DIN 7735: HP 2061

• IEC 60893: PFCP 201

• Colour: Brown (natural)

• Thicknesses: Typically from 0.5 mm to 60 mm

Note: Pertinax is not suitable for high temperatures or highly humid environments – for more demanding conditions, we recommend fabric-based materials (e.g. HGW 2082) or epoxy laminate boards (e.g. FR4/G10).
