FRP board for punching processing *Ideal for insulation boards for switches and motors!
A thin plastic sheet that withstands press cutting! An FRP material with excellent electrical insulation, heat resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance!
〇 Punching Process This is a processing method where the material is sandwiched between the male mold (punch) and female mold (die), and then punched out using a press machine to obtain products or parts with a specified shape. Compared to machining processes that involve cutting the material, this method has the advantage of enabling mass production in a short time, which is why many thin products and parts are produced using this technique. 〇 Thermosetting Resin Laminates The thin plastic sheets for punching processing provided by Rishou Industry are referred to as "thermosetting resin laminates" according to JIS standards. These are made by stacking a specified number of base materials (called prepreg) that have been impregnated and partially cured with thermosetting phenolic or epoxy resins onto paper, cloth, or glass fabric, and then pressing them under high temperature and high pressure. Unlike plastic sheets made by extruding or pouring thermoplastic resins into molds, these are fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) that are enhanced with fibrous base materials, providing excellent mechanical strength and resistance to punching processes. 〇 For Cost Reduction and Production Efficiency We would like to remind you that there are plastic sheets that can withstand press punching, and we encourage you to consider these for cost reduction and production efficiency.
basic information
〇Features The characteristics of the representative model, the thin paper-based phenolic resin laminate PS-1131, are as follows: ☆ The bending strength of a 1mm thick specimen is 140 megapascals. (JIS K 6911) ☆ The dielectric strength per 1mm of material is 10,000 volts. (JIS K 6911) ☆ The heat resistance temperature is 120℃. ☆ It has excellent chemical resistance to oils, solvents, acids, etc. ☆ It has excellent punchability. In addition, boards based on epoxy resin have superior heat resistance, while boards with fabric as a substrate excel in impact resistance, offering various features that can be selected according to the application. 〇Punching Temperature When performing punching processing on thermosetting resin laminates (thin sheets), heat is applied to soften them before proceeding. This heating temperature varies by product, so Rishou Industry generally classifies and provides guidance as follows: Hot Punching … around 100℃ Semi-Cold Punching … 60℃ to 90℃ Cold Punching … room temperature (around 25℃) 〇Punchability For industrial application parts such as outer shapes and through holes, most shapes can be obtained through punching processing.

Applications/Examples of results
Thermosetting resin laminated sheets (thin plates) are punched into various shapes and installed in areas where metals are unsuitable, such as where electrical insulation, rust prevention, or magnetic countermeasures are needed. With the push for lower product costs, they have been replaced by inexpensive resin molded products in many situations. However, there are no alternative materials that can match the insulating reliability, mechanical strength, or chemical resistance that thermosetting resin laminated sheets offer. In fields where safety is a top priority, they continue to be in strong demand.

Punching process The punching process is a method where a material is placed between a male mold (punch) and a female mold (die), and then punched out using a press machine to obtain products or parts with a specified shape. Compared to machining, this method has the advantage of enabling mass production in a short time, so many thin products and parts are produced using this process.

Punching Processability As shown in the photo, for industrial parts such as outer shapes and through holes, most shapes can be obtained through punching processing. The edges of the punched areas are sharp, and large burrs do not occur. The photo shows an example of material punched at around 1.0mm, but even thinner materials can withstand punching processing. Additionally, the finish and quality of the processed products largely depend on the skills of the mold makers and the know-how of the processing companies, so please consult us first.

Product Lineup At Rishou Industry, we offer a variety of thermosetting resin laminated sheets (thin plates) for punching processing. The standard size is 1000×1000mm. The thickness is up to 3.0mm, and we can generally accommodate in 0.1mm increments; however, this may vary depending on the type, so please consult with our sales staff first.
Line up（7）
| Model number | overview |
|---|---|
| PS-1131 (JIS/PL-P-P) | As a standard for cold punching boards, this paper phenolic laminate has a long history and track record, offering balanced performance and excellent punching processability. There is also a black type PS-1135 available. |
| PS-1143(JIS/PL-PEM-P) | This type has minimal softening and strength degradation at high temperatures. There are two types available: the S type for semi-cold punching at temperatures of 60-90°C and the L type for hot punching. |
| PS-1251TF(JIS/PL-P-PF) | This is a flame-retardant type (UL/ANSI:FR-1) semi-cold punching board. There is also a black type PS-1651TF available. |
| ES-1192SV(JIS/EL-PEF) | This is a paper-based epoxy resin laminate. It is a flame-retardant type (UL/ANSI:FR-3) semi-cold punching board, excelling in insulation and moisture resistance. |
| PS-2162(JIS/PL-FLE) | This is a cloth-based phenolic resin laminate. It is a cold punching type using fine thread cloth, offering superior mechanical strength, such as impact resistance, compared to paper-based materials. There is also a hot punching type PS-2164 available. |
| PS-3130A(JIS/PL-GH) | This is a glass cloth-based phenolic resin laminate. It has a high softening temperature of over 350°C, providing excellent heat resistance. |
| PS-3753 | This is a composite type laminate using glass cloth on the surface and glass non-woven fabric inside. Since it uses glass non-woven fabric internally, it offers better punching processability than PS-3130A. It does not use halogen-based flame retardants and is certified for extreme flame retardancy for railway vehicle materials (3mm)★. ★This is the result of the "Railway Vehicle Combustion Test" conducted by the Japan Railway Vehicle Manufacturers Association (JRMA). |
