Description
Tufnol 1P/13 Sheet is genuine Tufnol Grade 1P/13, an economical commercial paper and phenolic resin laminate (SRBP). It is a good basic low voltage insulation material, and it has higher mechanical strength and impact strength than the other grades in Tufnol’s paper range. It is made to BS EN 60893-3-4 Type PF CP 201, the grade formerly listed as BS 2572 Type P1.
Use 1P/13 for low voltage electrical components and for less demanding mechanical parts such as spacers, base plates, side plates and simple jigs and fixtures. Tufnol confirms it can be hot punched up to 3.2mm thick, so our 3mm sheet suits punched washers and small insulators.
We stock 1P/13 in 3mm, 8mm and 10mm. Choose a cut piece up to 600 x 600mm, or a full sheet up to 1220 x 900mm in 3mm and 900 x 600mm in 10mm. Need a different size? Call us and we will quote.
1P/13 is supplied in its natural brown colour without protective film. The shade varies from sheet to sheet and between batches, so your piece may not match the photo exactly. Expect surface scuffs and handling marks, which are cosmetic and normal for engineering stock. It machines readily, and stock is limited, so once these sheets are gone we cannot promise more at this price.
Which Tufnol grade is right for you?
1P/13 is the economical all-rounder for low voltage and light mechanical work. If insulation is the priority, Tufnol Kite Sheet has about twice the electric strength at 3mm and is rated for medium and high voltages. For gears, bushes and wear parts, choose the tougher fabric-based Tufnol Whale Sheet, or browse our full Tufnol sheet range.
Please read before ordering: two tolerances apply
- Cut size tolerance: cut pieces are nominal sizes and may measure up to 3mm under on length or width, as they are cut from full sheets with a 3mm saw blade. Full sheets are supplied at mill size.
- Thickness tolerance: Tufnol sheet is supplied as moulded. Tufnol’s standard tolerance for paper grades is ±0.25mm at 3mm, ±0.47mm at 8mm and ±0.55mm at 10mm, so a 3mm sheet can measure 2.75 to 3.25mm. Every thickness is listed in the Technical tab. Thickness can vary across a single sheet. This is normal for laminated sheet, not a fault, so allow stock to machine down if you need a precise thickness.
